Just handfed for the 1st time!

[X24]

well feeding time, i decided to try out hand-feeding. First i tried my African butterfly fish. Took the shrimp right from my hand! nice. Next, my red eye tetras and kribs. tetras tempted but none of them were really going for it, then the biggest just grabbed it from my hand. so one tetra and my butterfly both handfed today, first time.

I've handfed a few of my fish before, but the bigger they get, the less inclined I tend to want to do it again.

most of my fish (gar, NGT, Indo, Tem, Goldfish) take food out of my hands... the gar has taken quite a few chunks out of my hands too . infact, the NGT and Gar will only eat if i hold it for them, the minute is sinks they wont touch it
