I'm doing this because I'm pretty excited. Just thought you guys should know that my TSN lumpy eats from my hand, and let's me pet him, lol. I've not really heard of another tsn eating from someone's hands, or being petted before. Ok, so this thread is about catfish eating from your hands, and letting you pet them. This is where we can all post stories, pictures, and links to vids of catfish being hand fed, and petted! I'll have to post some pics on here after I get home from work, but feel free to share everyone.

i can pet my TSN too
this happened two days ago but wanted to be sure by petting him gain today haven't tried feeding him though

My brand new Bala Cat already eats from my hand, and loves to be pet. He'll even try to swim up my arm out of the water.
Of course its not unnormal for my fish... My Tiger Oscars eat out of my hand (one of them will jump all the way out of the water, the other one likes to be pet) and I trained my betta to jump for food as well and he eats out of my hand.
My fish are my babies, and I'm known as the Fish Girl in my dorm... haha (guess thats kinda like the young version of crazy ole cat lady right?)

i had a 27 inch redtail that i use to pet until the day he grab my hand . i accidentally curved the tips of my fingers over the front of his mouth while petting the top of his head and he grabbed hold and yanked . it did not hurt just kind of a pressure and pull feel but did kind of shook me up . i felt bad for him because i know he enjoyed being pet do to the fact that every time i went near the tank he swam to the front even after a feeding but i was to freaked out to pet him anymore . well i donated him to sea world about 2 years ago

if at first you don't succeed..... he was in with a mean pike, I have no idea if that is the reason, he only lasted a few hours, but I got him straight from the distributor, so I don't know if he would have made it at the LFS or not. I'm going to get rid of my P's to free up a tank for a new one.
