Hand feeding toothy monster!

[assortedsorts]

Here is a vid of my Hoplias Malabaricus being "hand fed" earth worms. Please don't mind the crappy camera quality (phone) and my dirty glass haha.
Now in this video he isn't quite as enthusiastic as normal...probably camera shy. But still fun to watch. I won't do this once he gets too much bigger haha I already fear for my fingers near the tank.
I am also relieved that I have now found something he will eat besides blood worms!!!

If you don't want your fingers to get bit use the worlds best feeding tool.... Chopsticks!

thats nice that it is interactive. mine just sits in a cave and doesnt eat if I am watching and mostly doesnt eat unless it lands by his face.

if you rinse your worms off first in the sink you won't have all that dirt falling in your tank.
