    I hand feed my oscellaris clown pair in my nano and about an quarter of the population of my 90 will eat from my hand. I remember being shocked when it first happened. Didn't know fish did that. Pretty cool.......Yup, definitely a Discovery Channel moment.

    almost all of mine will eat from my hand. Only the damsel's will not. The clowns, hippo tang, and blenny all enjoy eating from my hands though. My cleaner shrimp as well. He also likes to clean me too. I dont think it feels weird; he does a good job of getting under the nails too ;) My girlfriend hates it though

    Cool video.

    You need to fire that unruling assistant of yours. Laughing at your hard work to impress the world through viral videos. Who does she think she is?

    When I burned my hand and the scab was starting to come off I stuck my hand in the tank and my cleaners helped clean the scabs. At first it was kinda painful but it seemed to heal a lot faster than the other burn that didn't go in the SW
