Lol, she turns on you because she's a glutton. Does yours eat at the surface? It's the easiest time to pet them. They will lean back to see if your hand is edible but will quickly ignore it once they realize it's not a food and concentrate on grabbing what they can.
I know it was an annoyed bite because she held her mouth open until she touched the ruler then but down and shook her head like a shark, it was funny, but I left her alone after, don't wanna stress her to much. I'm sure she'll come along. And I haven't seen her eat off of the surface yet, but I've seen her swim up towards it after clearing the pellets but she shies away 3/4 of the way.
I'm impressed that the wolf lets you handle him. I think I said it before I always thought they'd be too high on alert to tolerate it. And he sounds like he's really putting on size. I'm also surprised by the Wyckii allowing itself to be touched, figured it'd be too aggressive. Way to go getting them used to handling. Someday it maybe helpful. Like if you had to apply antibiotic or something along those lines.
My old mala used to let me get him out the water, I don't think wolves are bad at all. Aimara might be different though. They've been the only fish I can get out the water though. I did get the curu out a little but he started to swim out of my hand so I stopped pulling him up. I always start off at their tails and move up gradually. I can pet the wyckiis head now. There's a vid on YouTube of a guy handfeeding a big one and even petting it. TBTB said he used to be able to handle his wyckii as well.
Also regarding your response to kno4te, I think my jag is overall more active than my Trachy still, the trachy comes out for food, the jag is out every morning. And I agree the trachy is the first to the good in my tank as well. He comes out as soon as any food hits the water as well. Also my bag is still more vocal than my trachy, I'm not sure what the trachy sounds like exactly because of this, hopefully it changes lol
