very trusting peppermints.

so bout three days ago my peppermint started climbing all over my hands when they are in the tank. which sadly my hands have been in there too much lately because of a small leather i got that is attached to 2 empty snail shells which isnt a problem, if my dumb hermits would stop toppling it ... any one else have this experience with your peppermints i always thought they were real shy.. but mine sure do like to hang out !

I've never heard of peppermints doing that before. I'm going to get one for my tank to [hopefully] get rid of my few aiptasia. Hope mine do that.

Originally mine wouldn't do that, but then I bought two cleaner shrimp and I guess you saw that I wouldn't hurt them when they did it. After about 2 weeks with the cleaners he started to hop on my hand too. He has since past, I'm pretty sure from old age. Those guys are fun!

My peppermint won't stop doing that to me when I have my hand in the tank. He definitely is not your typical shy peppermint.

Thats awesome...
I have 2 peppermints and they do it too , but it took a while, before they did it. And the cleaners, forget it...they do not let go till the last minute as I am talking the arm out of the water.

Mine did it all the time.

My cleaner won't stay off of my hands, no matter what i'm doing


My peppermint (RIP) did once, but I think he was scared off by the cleaner... rightfully so, as the cleaner ate the peppermint a few days ago.
