SparkyNat Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Do yours half jump out of the tank all the time? And do you feed yours live food at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyNat Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeah i do that too. I got a 50l that i just breed guppies in it but convicts might be better since they will get slightly bigger.

Stella Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I had my hand in the mudfish tank while maintaining it recently. Ok so most inquisitive fish come up and nibble your hand, that is fine. These guys came up and did the whole BITE AND TWIST technique!!!! Slightly disturbing. Thankfully their mouths are little.... I suggest, if your fish indeed need to be taught, to start feeding them by holding the food under the water for a moment, then letting it go. Increase the period as you go. That way they will associate your hand more with being fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
