Try hand feeding your fishes. It is away of bonding. I just hand fed my angels who i got yesterday so u can imagine how scared they are. But to my amazement they came right up and ate from my fingers. Now they are more active and swimming around and we have built a trust. Again watch out what fish you do it with, as when i was feeding my largemouth bass some feeders he nearly jumped out of the tank attack my net.  |

Just do not do this with moray eels (or maybe a Great Whiite shark, LOL). Along this line, did anyone hear about the Great White Shark attack where the victim was 2/3 down the shark, head fisrst and lived to tell about it?

Wow that guy is lucky to be alive.
I have fed my bettas bloodworms (wet my finger and dipped it into the worms to get them to stick)...now anytime I come to the tanks the fish go nuts! I have to watch the girls because when they see me coming the kinda jump out of the water in their excitement to get fed (their tank has a hood).
