Yes, you read that right and, no, that's not a euphemism. My blue diamond, Elvis, likes to feed from my hand and, recently, has developed a liking for having his head tickled. It's quite funny to watch him, but it occurred to me that it might not be healthy to be touching him like that, because there might be a danger of removing the slime coat. Am I right to be concerned, or being ridiculously cautious? I'd like to continue that sort of interaction with him, if possible.

Yes you are being ridiculous...LOL. He will be fine. Several of us have discus that we can pet. I have never known it to hurt anything.
