Hand feeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have three Mastacembelus eels, eight angels, an Acarichthys heckelii, a black ghost, three siamese algae eaters and a figure 8 puffer eating from my hand.
 
I've hand fed all my fish. Most of the time, I didn't plan it that way, they just kept comming closer and closer until they were almost resting in my open hand, LOL. I have also fed sharks, rays, and other large saltwater fish from hand as well. Pretty cool I think.

i wish i could train my RBPs to feed from my hand =\.
their skittish enough already though. T_T
Rpbs will eat from you hand, just rub them with earth worms then let your hand sit quietly in the tank for a 1/2 hour or so, then slowly start twitching a finger tip, after a bit one will take a nip, see, hand feeding! :naughty:

I've got a Midas and Salvini who expect to be handfed - often.
 
nope i don't do it
 
If someone has a few pirhanas, I have a former boss and I would like to feed his hand to them.
 
Yes Roger, it is fine to pet the pirhanas. They haven't eaten in two weeks and would like it if you would scratch their bellies! :ROFL:
