I always play with my fish and people sa;y not to but he seems so freindly and when I pick him up he is gentle and calm. Is it ok to pet him gently and try to buld a physical relationship. He seems to really want to. He is so big. Help any advice would be great. crissy91603 2008-10-04 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=help-new-flowerhorn-owner#2 by continually picking up the fish you are risking two things. This habit can stress fish, you also run the risk of passing on an infection to the fish from your hands mickey 2008-10-06
