I'm going to have to try this repashy gel

All you need is good quality food. Rephasy isn't bad but I don't want to have to deal with a gel when dry pellets are better. I have many different fish (Africans, apistos, rams, tetras, rainbows, crayfish, etc and I feed mainly nls and its my favorite food. The only thing you could do is over some fresh veggies like once every other week. I can literally grab my Africans when I feed them they don't care until i move them.

This might be weird but I can hand feed my africans now, with peas they don't even care they'll swim into my hand and just munch away lol and I feed my blue cray nls now by hand but I just grab a pinch and reach down and sprinkle them in front of him and he'll almost crawl up on my hand. Its awesome!

That is awesome. I'm trying to get this group to be as interactive as my last group. My Red Coral Saulosi has a thing with my wife where she'll come over and greet her. It's pretty cool. The saulosi is the smallest fish in the tank so my wife thinks she's cute. Looks like I need to try a few things with feeding these fish. The sky is the limit, and thankfully, I have some time to work on it.

Its a bonding thing with me lol its hard to grasp but I love my fish like my aquatic offspring ha but seriously though just try it out, they'll either warm up to you or they won't lol mine did it after 2 or 3 times
