A Little To Trusting?

[PoPoV]

I was working on my Livebearer tank today. I had to get my fish out of the tank since i was doing substrate work. My sword tail and his ladie are pretty weiry of the fish net (As i would be to ). But my guppies will let me pick them up with my hands! Not only will they let me pick them up, they swim into my hand when I put it in the tank. Is this normal? Or are my fish just way over trusting from being spoiled?

As long as they're safe with you, it shouldn't be a problem. Just because you are vacuuming or moving things around in the tank, I wouldn't necessarily take the fish out. It probably causes them more stress to be taken out than to have a hand in there moving objects around.

I think this must be the norm because my guppies swim into my hand if I put it in the tank. I think they are just very friendly !!

yeah my guppies do this too. but they'll swim into just about anything really, even the net! they're the only ones i take out when i clean my tank cuz i'm afraid they'll get sucked up the tube (it happened once! don't worry she survived). so either they're curious, or dumb. compared to my clown loaches anyway because they swim away when i walk up to the tank.
