Ok this is for you people who love a good show every time you feed.

Answers:

I have a lionfish though it's not that exciting to watch him eat, it's just swim and gulp.

I have a green spotted puffer that is small but a real fury. He attacks food like a wee little shark, particularly crabs. He bites off their claws first, he's pretty smart! He has bitten me many times but the bites are only pinchy and sweary, not skin breaking.

My favorite predatory fish pet is my porcupine puffer. He is just brilliant about stalking his food. He even knows enough to chase shrimp to the powerhead intakes where they struggle with the current. He also blows into the crevices in live rock to force his prey out. If I neglect to feed him when I feed my other tanks he spits water at me and has even puffed to get my attention at meal time when he thought I forgot him. He also lets me pet him and knows not to bite the hand that feeds him. He's scary-smart for a fish and he's CUTE! Cute and savage, my favorite combination!

My red devil is a s**t. When I clean his tank, he starts attacking my hand and the siphon. I usually end up all scratched and bloody lol. Once I went in to work, and one guy asked what happened to my hand, all scratched up, told him my fish did it, the look on his face was priceless lol.

My freind and coworker has piranas,. i went to his house one day to pick up a 10 gal aquarium for my sons room and he was showing them to me. he used a net and dropped a bunch of goldfish in and they went nuts,one tried jumping at the net whent he noticed. he showed me a bunch of scars on his hands from them that i always thought was from working on cars.

he also had a tank with various ciclids that he put his hand in to feed them. they would actually let you pet them
