Hand Feeding?
How do you tame a BGK to eat out of your hand? I saw some 3 inch BGK and just had to get one XD.

Repetition and patience...move slow, offer a particularly relished item in the same place daily.....and have patience...it may take a couple of months.

So far I can some blood worms next to it and it will come eat them, but if i get to close it swims away.
*Edit* Btw It likes playing dead. XD Gave me quite a scare since I couldn't tell it was moving or not. |
