wned:by fish lol.
Yeah,my angels let me "pet" them whenever I feel the urge.That or they know that when my fingers are in the water it's feedin time and they gather around!!
The best fish for petting are without a doubt stingrays, my young rays come to my hand and my big female will cover most of my arm 
I love the video.. wonder how big his tank is. I wanna dive in my tank! When I feed my fish, I have to feed my large male frontosa by hand so my hands are in there anyways I have eel food (eel died and I just didnt have the heart to feed them to something else) its just some feeders who got huge they let me pet them. My borleyi seems to like it too. Ohh and my 12inch clown knife doesnt seem to mind it 
Strangely enough, my african knifefish oftens comes and swims in and around my hand.
BTW, cool video.

i have a few fish that i can pet.. my oldest angelfish, Gabriel will let me touch him most any time. A couple of my peacock bass, a cool one i just got a couple months ago that we call Buster, and my Dozer that i raised since he was 2 inches.
the RTC, but that pretty much goes without saying, most RTC will eventually learn to come up for food and will let whoever is giving them food pet them. Rocky, the bigger of my two oscars will be very friendly and almost let you touch him.. but not quite. and Houdini, the Marble/RTC hybrid, now that he's out of hiding, will come up to the top of the tank now and then, but isn't ready for contact yet.
and the P. Altum angelfish, they are a curious bunch, they come to the front of the tank when i'm looking at them and they come to my hand when i put it in the water. They must be incredibly easy to catch in the wild if they are that curious.
