RE: SAE's & happy tickles

["Kevin Reavis" <kreavis1 at triad_rr.com>]

I had a really neat experience this weekend.  My big plant tank has 6 Discus
and 9 SAEs.  Since adding the discus, the SAE's have begun to eat from my
hand like the big guys do and seem very curious about my fingers. I was in
the water up to my elbows pruning and cleaning when the SAEs began to nibble
at my arms - tiny little tickles :)  It was really cool.  It went on
continuously for the 20-30 minutes it took me to finish the cleaning.
Anyone else know of SAE's acting like this?
