just out of curiosity who here hand feeds their fish? i mean we cant pet or walk our fish so i guess the best we can do is hand feed them. i hand feed my aro earthworms, i just dangle it n the aro either jump n get it or it will just gently grab it. i also hand feed my discus that has near vision problem, either i dangle earthworms or chop the worm into little pieces n stab the pieces with a skrew n put it into the water n the discus will just peck it
 
I hand fed my fish when I had them.
Now I hand feed my reptiles.
It's a great trust builder with most animals.

If by trust, you mean it trains them to attack your hand when you enter the cage, then yes. ;) I stopped hand feeding my monitors/tegus once they were beyond the small and cute stage...
 
I hand feed my aro but hes becoming more aggressive and actively pursuing my fingers so im thinking of stopping the hand feeding regiment.
 
The snails are sometimes handfed. Loaches and goldies are handfed.
