Do you handfeed your ]v[onsters?

[Death Pony]

I only have a 6 gallon right now with a black crowntail betta, but he has a monster attitude! He's not too fond of my hands and fingers, but food is more important to him. I thaw out frozen bloodworms for him in a plastic cup. The little devil is such a pig that he actually will swim into the cup to get the bloodworms before they "escape". It cracks me up!

Ok, so no blood , and there are probably a few who have seen this before. However, I love that the aro was giving everything it got into pulling that guys finger off! But there is another one I'll post a link to (apparently some pretty foul language), but this bass left his mark.

So, yeah. How many people here on MFK!?! There has got to be at least a few good documented injuries.

Edit: Okay, here's some fish drawn blood... Get 'em fishy!

I hand feed my tilapia when they are little so that they aren't scared of me. It's pretty cool to have a massive herd-ball of fish all trying to get to the same cube of food at the same time.

My broodstock came from a pond and are absolutely terrified of anything touching the water. I feel a little rejected. I've opened the lid to feed them 3 times a day for over a year and they still try to bash through the back wall of the tank when I walk up.

I hand feed every time. It's the only way I can make sure everyone gets their share. Aro draws blood all the time. Pacus have, but it is rare. Marble pim and TT eel are the most fun to hand feed.

Get some video of your aro drawing blood! I think we need some proof.
