Well I guess you shouldn't call it a trick but he can jump up and get a pellet off my finger. In this video he misses the first time but gets it the second.

Ignore the sound in the background that is my Zebra finch singing to me.
 
lol.....bet mine would make me jump doing that, he does like to try my finger for food if i dip it in the water...lol
 
i used to have a pk fmale that could do that, she would jump verticly 2-3 cm out the water to take bloodworms and snails off my fingers!

hah zebra finches are awsome.. i used to breed loads of them in my avaiaries a while back
 
Glad you achieved that. It's really fun when it becomes a regular thing. I used to enjoy watching my apprehensive betta "S" up really tight and get the courage to jump at my pinched fingers. Now he starts jumping almost before my finger gets in jumping range.

* Tip: I use hikari betta gold.... it's hard to deal with in that package. I poured it into a small (i mean small) plastic cup. I wet my finger and stick a piece of food on the tip of my finger when i want my betta to really jump... he actually gets it about an inch out of the water approximately 85% of the time. the best about this food, it doesnt sink like others i have tried. so when my fish misses and just ends up biting my finger (interesting the first few times it happens btw), the food falls and FLOATS.
