I'd removed some broken off plant from my tank yesterday and hadnt realised I'd left my fingers swishing in the surface of the water while I was talking to my daughter..... YEOWCH!!! I lept a flippin mile.... guess it was more shock than anything else, seems my biggest 2" tetra had though my finger tips looked good enough to eat

I dont usually play with my fish so all this time it had not crossed my mind they may be so accustomed to me. Needless to say it worked, I gave them some food )

My girlfriend loves to put her hand in my tank and have the fish nip at her hand. None of the fish are very large though I doubt she would do it when the Kribensis gets full size! With the baby mollies and guppies though its alright you can barely feel it and it kind of tickles.

my Betta was after my hand today... I think the fish have learnt that hand=food since I usually hand-feed them.
