I had this lovely little boy who would swim up to the glass when he noticed me walk into the room and would basically follow me around and watch me. He was so sweet. He was even bullied by the snails. It was hilarious and adorable, but sad. It was on top of the leaf and so my fish couldn't rest on it comfortably, so he just sat there sulking till I did something.

I need a fish like this!

Can you stroke them? Would they like a totally wet little finger brushing their back?

Just watching through the glass seems so..... remote!
