@NanashiiKnight My first guess is, that this isn't the entirety of the tank, so we don't know what#s actually in there. My second guess is, that this tank isn't really the "living room" of the catfish.
Lol. my brother had a cat fish too, and it loves to be taken out from the aquarium and jump on my bed. The way it moves on the bed tells me it loves this a lot!
Had a catfish at one point, that and a 8 year old goldfish both liked being held underwater, it was odd and cool. Currently have oscurfish and they eat anything but like hitting your finger over and over again.
We had a rope fish like this...he actually just passed yesterday, but he would swim in between our hands while we cleaned or adjusted the aquarium...and he liked to bump by finger nails. Who knows why these fish are seeking physical attention...but its pretty cool.
It is amazing that it trusts you that much. Normally, if you get too close to a catfish, all you can look forward to are the spines on its dorsal fin or the stingers on its back fins. That fish is a kind one indeed!
I had a 14 inch shovel nose catfish that was actually affectionate. He ended up living outside when he outgrew the tank. Something came in the yard and fished him out and ate him. He was old.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he thought his hand was food... he doesnt like to be "petted". fish rely on 100% instinct, they have no emotion or conscious. tasting the guys hand was just a way of seeing if it was edible.
@Apollyon511 A local shop has a bigger cat fish, it begs to be petted, Even comes out of the water on the side of the tank to be petted. Two fakes I guess. lol
@ironmadion55 TOTALLY! Didn't you know that Jesus Christ was REALLY the Anti-Christ in disguise? He must have been, because he fed the people on bread and fish. Hmm...you know what? I bet the wheat could feel the agony of being processed into bread, too! What a bastard.
@AndreasNV YEAH! who needs to eat? eating is for evil people... especially eating mindless fish! they have feelings too... even if they are tasty and delicious...
@MeerKat186 I had an upside down one and it was a dear sweet thing. It only survived a week from when I got it which was somewhat devastating :(. It was so shy at first but then it got used to me and would come up to the side of the tank when I went upto the tank.
@MeerKat186 The whiskers are sharp pointed like claws at the end and they pierced the bags on my way home, even though the man who sold it to me put it in about 3 bags. So it's possible that could be part of what attributed to it as well as having trouble keeping fish alive. I lost so many fish that I gave up on them after I kept losing them :(.
Poor thing. The ONLY reason it seems to like rubbing against the hand is that there is NOTHING else in the tank for the poor creature to rub against itself.
@indianacheckers wow you just rudely responded to my comments.... iwas subbed to you but sry.. i unsubbed bitch so i dont want to talk to you any more. bye pussy.
You pat it and it's like ''oh I like that'' so you take your hand away and it stares at you...it then doesn't leave you alone and starts rubbing it's head up and down your leg and stuff.......It loves being played with
Haha, that's really cool to see. No reason why a fish shouldn't like to be stroked, just like a dog or cat. Tho the fish may associate this with getting a clean up from another fish species.
these fish are really fantastic to raise . this one is probably 4 or 5 years old and it needs a huge tank at this point but you can get the babies 2" long for about $15 each and start in a small 20 gallon tank , years of enjoyment .
It could also be parasites, seeing it does not holds any rocks or other stuff in the tank to rub against, he has found out that his hand is the best next thing...
It's clear from the fish's behavior that it see's your hand as a threat to its territory, which is why it keeps going back to the area in the tank where your hand is. You should never touch a fish! It removes there slime coat and that can make them more susceptible to tank born diseases!
