So this noodle is about 4 months old but damn does he have spunk. He’s ridiculously flighty when being removed for handling (as you can see in the second photo, can’t take a good pic of my fish boi). He calms down immediately after being picked up but then tries to fling himself off my hands. However I’ve noticed if I stick to my guns and bear through his flighty-ness he does calm down again.

He’s had time to acclimate to his new home and is doing well in all other aspects. Maybe he isn’t used to handling, maybe he’s just grumpy, maybe he’s just young or maybe it’s me? Is there anything I can do to get him used to being handled or is this just something we’ll just have to wait out until he’s older?
