We hand feed or mekong,two of our clown knives,green pearl jardini,one of our albino asian redtail cats,and our gulper cats.it took some time to get a few of them used to it,but it pays off.

My gold CK seems like he'd be fine to eat out of my hand, but I'm not so sure. I've seen him crush gold fish and send scales flying everywhere like glittery confetti. :WHOA: He's 100% on pellet and frozen krill now (except when he manages to steal a night crawler meant for one of the eels). Still, his previous owner raised him on live food, and man is he a hunter! I'm tempted, but maybe ill use my left hand instead. :)
 
My 3 Oscars. Theyre very carefull. Werent in the beginning though. I guess they figured out that if they didnt behave, they only get those boring pellets.

The all time favorite it cocooned maggot larvae. Which is fine by me, since the local sports store consider the packs with cocooned maggots to be trashworthy, so i get them for next to nothing.
 
I got a stupid question. as anyone ever died from handfeeding a fish? (other than a shark)
 
yeah i hand feed my tt eel, sen. bichir, my two O's and my 3 pim. blochii. lol it just makes the task easier... except for the part when my tiger o jumps out and splashes water all over my face... hahaha
 
Ill handfeed everythin of mine but my newest addition, My little Payara :naughty:
wud definetly hurt if i got tagged by this guys teeth even f=if their still tiny.:screwy:
 
I try to hand feed my Oscar, but he gets so frantic about jumping at my fingers he forgets to look for food. I think he's under the impression that I am food!
 
i hand feed my midas 1 pellet at a time when i eat my breakfast. the con and the jewel dont come up to my hand for pellets yet but the jewel does for its mealworm when i give their afternoon snack.
although my midas is getting kind of big and she seems to have some nasty teeth coming in so i might have to start watching my fingers.
