I had my old one trained to catch pellets as I tossed them, mid air like a dog. I'm trying to train my new one now. I wait until he's underneath my hand looking up and make a deliberate slow toss. At this point, he positions himself well at nails it the second it hits the water. I am about one step now from him jumping and catching, his timing is off, we'll get it.

The crickets swim over to my intake tube, crawl up it and get out, so I flick them back in and call my Aro a woos.
 
why stop? most people are trying to get theirs to eat from hand
 
From my experience, their teeth are like sandpaper. Maybe I just haven't been fully bitten?
 
wow, i gotta try that with lil bob (who is a foot long and eats earthworms out of my hand)

My jar seems to get all excited when I feed him crickets. He loves to charge to the surface viciously attacking the crickets. In the process he soaks anyone that is within two feet of the aquarium. It can be intense but fun to watch.:popcorn:
Dude I think I've told you this, but I freackin' love your Jar... New pics are always welcome!!! :headbang2
