Can anybody tell me how to get your fish to handfeed because I want to learn how to hand feed my plecos and goldfish.

Goldfish should be easy...mine were such a pig when I had them. I never even considered handfeeding Plecos, they dont seem like the type. Stick your hand end whenever you drop food in there, soon they will associate your hand with food and start coming up. You can use frozen cubes of food that they like (blood worms, etc) and theyll come pick it off. Most of the time, it just takes time for your fish to be comfortable with you and they'll come and nip your fingers when you stick your hand in,
I would hold blood worm tablets in my hand and fishes eventually learn to come up to my hand and eat off of it. At first they would just stay a bit away and eat the blood worms that got unfrozen but eventually they just go up and eat straight from my hand. Now whenever I put my hands in, they come up and nibble my fingers looking for food lol.
