I just started using nls 2mm sinking pellets and algae waffersand i feed as a snack freeze dried bloodworms. Sound ok? How and what do I do to hand feed?
I doubt you'll get the loaches to come up for hand feeding, but it's possible with the other species, although glofish are too small to be eating anything other than really small pellets.
I only hand feed my blood parrots. It was simply a matter of getting them used to my hand in the tank, then holding onto the tip of the pellet. Just like with a dog, I wouldn't release the pellet unless the fish grasped it gently enough. They caught on quickly.
The only downsize is that every time you have your hands in the tank, the fish will expect you are there only to feed them. It can actually get to be a hassle sometimes, so I don't handfeed as much anymore.
My fish think it's feeding time anytime I walk by or open the stand door haha. I have to creep up to the tank to observe them, or they'll all go to the top for food.The only downsize is that every time you have your hands in the tank, the fish will expect you are there only to feed them.
