I was wondering how I would go about teaching my Pike to eat out of my hand, Ive hand fed fish in the past, I hand feed green spotted puffers, Black Knife fish, and even an underwater frog. I figure it it was possible to start out small considering mine is still little. I need to get him to trust me first.
 
my vene will strike at my hand if i have food. hes a striker bigtime. loves crickets. i wont hand feed my pikes there to aggressive. he will follow me wherever i go. start by feeding in the same place everytime. mine even recognize me grab the hikari bag from across the room now lol
 
Mine needs to stop being lazy and actually be a fish and swim around more.

For the most part he lays on the drift wood dark as night but as soon as I open the lid, vibrant yellow and red
 
My venny will hand feed . I didn't really have to try much . He was greedily eating from the surface already so i just held a freeze dried shrimp at the surface and he took it .
