I had goldfish which were totally friendly!! They'd come up and nibble gently on my fingers to say hello!! They'd do the same thing - follow me around as I walk nearby! I loved it!! (most of my friends said its just that they're hungry, but I don't believe that was always true! Of course they do have large appetites, but they're very cute and funny in their own way!) Calin - contrary to what Bev suggested, please don't put semps in the space of your water bowls, they'd NOT enjoy that at all!
