Many pets aren't appreciating to be petted. Many more can't be petted. Most people think fish can't be petted, but I have seen video of people petting fish! Not to mention it is actually quite common for some fish eat out of the owner's hands.
actually, i wish i had a camera when i had my small 10 gallon going. i had a chichlid that would swim into my hand when i put it in the tank and just chillax on it..his name was max :3 i also had a bichir that loved to eat out of my hands and swim through them..he sadly died because he tried to eat a pregnant danio and it got lodged in his throat came home to him dead with a fish tail sticking out of his mouth...i used to breed danios btw just the common zebra type.
