Goldfish will learn to recognise their regular feeders and with carefull training will let their feeder stroke their underbelly gently. This is a difficult thing to do and should only be done by an expert who knows how to handle the fish without damaging the fishes protective coating of mucous.

∙ 12y agoas long you can handle the fish safely as long as your hands are clean and really wet. If you touch the fish with dry hands then you risk damaging the fish's slime coat. Goldfish can be very friendly fish and some learn to enjoy being petted or having their belly rubbed. If you really want to protect the fish while you handle it, rub some "Stress Coat" "Stress Zyme" or other slime coat protector on your hands before you do it.
