I think that the fish will do anything for Bloodworms. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

They are fat and lazy and wait for the worms to fall. My yoyos are absolutely psycho and will compete with any fish for food ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

First i tried it only the discus came to eat. Then later the rams and loaches. After 3 days i bought the Balas they came and ate from my fingers...cool..i didn't think they was going to do that at all. Now every time i get close to the tank all the fish goes to the surface and wait for food..if sombody else goes to the tank they hide. Try to leave your hand in one place..don't move it around the tank.Slowly they will now that you only want to feed them. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

illustrae Fish Addict Posts: 820 Kudos: 876 Registered: 04-May-2005	Heh, cool. I have fish who bypass the food entirely and try to eat my hands when I do that... so I personally find it more fun to sprinkle the food on top and watch the swarm of SAEs, Rainbows, a lone Angel, and even my huge Pleco swarm over the surface of the tank. I'm also there for spotting to make sure any accidental jumpers don't end up on the floor I'm getting birchirs soon, and those are supposedly hand feedable, so I'm looking forward to that. Looks like fun! Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

My Clown Loaches have just started to hand feed, when they miss and get my fingers its quite a hard bite. Its great fun tho. Thanks for sharing those pics. Those who say they cant, Never will !!!
