I have finally taught my 4'' male kamfa to jump out of water for food, taking the food straight from my fingers lol!!! he also eats from my hand when its (my hand lol) in the water....

video soon :)
 
Its cool up until he jumps out of the tank and you find him all dried up. Just be careful and make sure you have a good lid. I used to do this with oscar till he accidentally made it out of the tank.

i have a strong lid so its ok, also i have a high tank so i have lowered the water levels lol

Your underestimating flowerhorns, never underestimate them ever. Seriously. Wait till your time comes to have a first hand experience with flowerhorns and their power + break free talent. :D

it was used for an aro tank (previous owner) so it should be good enough for a fh

Seen a flowerhorn knocked out a 180 gallon glass lid + 20lbs of weight on it yet? :D:nilly:
 
I used to do similar with my big red dragon, Buster (9"). However, he is waaaaay too enthusiastic and too inaccurate and made my fingers bleed frequently.
Enjoy it while you can ! As yours grows, his dentition and finger-biting power will increase proportionally !

I still love finger feeding my little ones ! One of the pleasures of fish-keeping.
