Ahaha yeah i wouldnt recommend it. The only reason i hand feed him is because i accidentally poked him with the plastic tweezers and i think i may have hurt him because he is really scared of them now. Poor guy :c
I have to pay close attention to the way he acts, if he is too much of an aggressive mood he will strike at me. He usually gives me plenty of warning first. I dont mind hand feeding him, its when i do water changes and he climbs on my arms while im siphoning poo that bothers me.
The boyfriend thinks im some kinda fish wisperer and that if he gets a mantis that ill hand feed him too. lol no way!
