My Ember Blenny sat on my arm today while I was cleaning the tank

My ocelaris clown fish both will let me pick them up out of the tank. They litterly swim right into my hand when I put it in the tank.

My first clown fish was so easy to catch I used to just put a plastic bag in the tank and she would swim right in. I moved that clown 5 times in the seven years I had her and every time she would just climb in the plastic bag, no fight or fuss...maybe she just liked to travel

Chromis are so stupid I think I could catch them with a tea spoon. If I held my hand over the water with some food in it, I'm sure they'd jump right into my hand.

I used to grab my naso tang and move him out of the way when I was working in the tank. It would eat from my hand and was easy to catch by hand. My niger trigger is easy to catch as well and has on occasion has actually jumped right into the cup I use for feeding.

A few years ago, when I bought a 6.5' long plexi tank from someone in Vancouver, the bright guy gave away his only net and didn't have any way to catch the fish out when I went to pick up the tank. He drained several buckets of water into his bathtub, then we caught all 50+ fw fish by hand. He was very bad at it so I sent him away. I ended up having to catch discus, catfish, plecos, tetras, angelfish & all sorts of other fish by hand that night. It would have been so much faster & easier with a net.
