Jelly Bean eats from my hand

[stw9495]

I can't seem to get my other fish to take part. She's bitten my finger several times now, but she doesn't lunge unless she sees I have food.

haha thanks, she's quite personable. I've had her forever, as well...biggest baby of the tank.

Very cool. Great video.

thanks thanks. she bit me once or twice, and hangs on! haha. I think it's neat how she can bite off the end of the shrimp.

Very cute but the one eating from your hand looks like a parrot, not a jellybean.

Very cool!

Awesome! I hand feed my large fish, so I must warn you....


BUY HEAVY, TIGHT LIDS. If you have a light or loose lid, they might try to sneak out and find that food after you've left.

It was passed off as a Jelly Bean, but I've debated if it was a parrot ever since. Now I've gotten one of my largemouth bass to eat from my hand. They love those baby shrimp!

Well, it's a blood parrot. The Jellybean is a cross between a Convict and a Blood Parrot and they don't look much like a parrot once they are crossed. They tend to take on more of the convict appearence. Very neat that he eats from your fingers tho. Mine sure wouldn't.

Mine just bounce all over the place when I open their food cabinet. LOL

Cool that you got them eating out of your hand. The leleupi I have like to attack my hand, siphon, sponge when it goes into the tank:p

Thanks! I appreciate the tip. Yeah he/she's not shy in the least. It also goes nuts when I put my hand anywhere she may want to nest. I should mention I was able to get my largemouth's to take part a bit as well. (they're even faster!)

Well I'm unsure on how to edit my post, so I apologize in advance. I tried something else today, Wardley Tubifex worms. Never had a lot of luck with these, but I must say after they get moistened the fish like them more. I was able to get a lot of interest this time!
