Hand fed Silver Arowana

[supaoat]

This is how I feed my fish and I really enjoy it! Just wanna show you a demonstration of each movement of my 12" Silver Arowana when he approach the food.

Step1: Staring at the target from the far away distance.

Step2: Moving closer towards the target.

Step3: Even closer.

Step4: Finally close enough and getting ready for the jump.

Step5: Jump!

Step6: Landing with the krill in his mouth.

Step7: Swim away and will be back soon for more food.

good pics my man.. what is your cam? detailed, sharp and very clear.. btw, just a heads up, hand feed it everyday while you can.. there will come a time when you would want to stop hand feeding it because it bites not only the food but also your hand.. trust me.. that happens.. lol

I took these pics with Canon PowerShot SX100 IS 8.0 MegaPixels just like the one in the pic below. Very nice camera!

That's what I want my fish to be good at. So I trained it to jump and try not to bite my finger while I was hand feeding. I got bit most of the time doing that, though.

Try that when your Aro is 16+ inches! LOL!

Sometimes mine will actually jump and grab the shrimp out of my hand before i have the chance to drop it in the tank....it breaks skin every time!

Nice pics BTW!
