Handfeeding probs

[~ocean]

Okay, in my salty tanks all fish love handfeeding... now in my new FW tank with a BGK, a clown loach and a convict, none of them are eating fom my hand... the clown got close but then ran away

I wouldn't call it a problem, nor expect all fish to eat out of your hands.

None of my fish will hand feed except the RTC.

They might eat from your hand once they get used to you. If you put your hand into the tank to hand feed them on a daily basis everyday, or attempt to, slowly they will build a trust in you. Same thing happened with my BGK and Tiretrack Eel.

not all fish readily accept from human's lol but it is a fantastic feeling when they trust you enough to eat from your hands.

It takes time. Patience is the key. Heck, it was the Siamese algae eaters that "taught" all my loaches, BGK and sevs to handfeed. And prior to that, I was trying to teach the SAEs to eat on my hands too along with other fish.
