Hi there - I am a very new RES owner. I have a few questions and after browsing the forum's past postings, I have not been successful at finding answers... any info you can share about the following would be greatly appreciated!

1. Can RES hear? I know they can see cus every time I go near the tank, they swim away or come closer thinking I'd feed?
2. Do they like to be held?
3. How do I safely (for their sake) clean the water spots on my tank due to water splattering off of the filter?

Thank you in advance for your help!
