Hand feeding your fish.

**revhtree** · 03-16-2012, 04:27 PM

One of the cool things about the hobby is that I love to hand feed my fish! I have had several fish over the years that love to be hand fed and of course they are mostly tangs.

What about you?

Any pics or videos to share?

Not like this...LOL!

I get my clownfish to do the same, the tang is still a little nervous. No pics yet

The foxface just worries me because of his spines

My chromis eat flakes out my hands, i also feed brine shrimp out of a small net so there not afraid of it and i be able to net one if ever needed. Hopefully the other fish i get will do the same.

Some triggers will actually just EAT your hand, not out of it! LOL!

My Vlamingi, Blue Jaw Trigger and both my Wrasses will eat out of my hand. And sometimes my hand. It's very cool.

Currently a Huma Trigger and Dogface Puffer - and have been bitten.
Also had a Foxface and Sohal Tang in the past that I hand fed. The Sohal would actually follow my hand around when working in the tank, very friendly.

LOL - pretty much... I've got two blue throat triggers that I feed using tongs. If I try to use those same tongs to move a coral, they'll strike at the tongs and stalk it - just in case food comes out, I guess. I'm just happy it's not my hand that has their interest!

It looks like Sunny has a trick of letting the big tangs eat out of his hand while letting some food go for all of the anthias to get. It is a nice presentation!

Worst thing I ever did was hand feed my clowns... Now I got piranhas every time I stick my hand in the tank haha...
