man i almost got them to hand feed! today i tried to hand feed them with a cube of frozen bloodworms and well while i was sifting it ontop of the water...they all went up to see it then let a few worms fall and they got them then they all just out of the blue tried to snag some from me without fear...but they didn't get it in time since the cube thawed out fast and all fell out of my hand...so i'll keep trying and once i fatten them up to say 4-5" i'll convert their feeding life style with dry goods...and mostly live feeders like minnows that are quarentined! Any of you guys with small 1.5-2" orinos had the same close encounter with their orinos?
 
hope it works out bro!!!!!!!!! it's hard....i'm doing the same with my mono's, but with pellet's.

cool :headbang2i hope they get to my hands soon lol it would be cool with 1.5-2"ers orinos hand feeding already at such a young and small age
 
ya my monos wil but hard part is geting them not to eat my hand as well lol
 
I don't think hand feeding is a good idea. It will make getting in the tank to do any cleaning or anything else really hard when they get bigger and are attacking you hand for food.
