Pet Fish Loves to Get Pets by His Mom like a Water Puppy, Shows That Fish Can Be Cuddly Too

Many people think fish are a good starter pet. You just put them in a bowl, feed them, clean the bowl, and there ya have it. But it really isn't like that at all, and real fish owners know this. TikToker Abi aka @@mrs_pants_x has a large Red Devil fish. He basically looks like an overgrown goldfish with a weird bump on his head. Most people wouldn't look at a fish like that and think, “that fish wants me to pet it!”—except for this TikToker.

Her Red Devil fish that she named Buster is going viral for his playfulness and cuddly nature towards Abi. She posts videos of her sticking her hand in the tank and him swimming up to her fondly. He'll either want some pets and rub his fishy body all around her hand. Or he'll want to play, and plays with her hand as if he were a little puppy. It's absolutely adorable and you'll never look at fish the same way again. 

Baby to Full Grown

She is a very good fish mom. Buster isn't the only one of her water pets, and she shows off her huge and high-maintenance tanks she homes her pets in. She mentions at one point that Buster's tank is somewhere over 80 gallons, and the other tank she shows off in some of her videos is filled with all natural plants that she has to go in and maintain as they continue to grow underwater.

Water Puppy

Viewers are in love with Buster and his relationship with his ma. Abi says she makes sure not to pet him too often, because it's important for a fish to have his little slimy coat, but that it's also natural for a fish to rub up against different things, so she's happy that when it's time, Buster chooses to rub up and get pets from his ma. Commenters are saying after seeing these now viral videos they don't ever want to eat fish again.
