Hungry little rascals

This is a vid of me hand-feeding our clowns. My girlfriend filmed and edited it. I'm holding an algae-wafer, as you might see ;)

Thanks! Some of them are growing a bit slow though, so I'll probably do some kind of internal parasite meds soon. Two of them have been growing very fast though!

Hungry devils!
That angelfish didn't have a chance at getting a bite!

They won't let any fish come near their food, not even our balas (biggest one is about 12cm), or our red tail shark (also bigger than the clowns you saw in the clip).

I love that video, has a clown ever nipped your finger? I have always wondered if they could possibly give a decent bite.

I've hand fed my loaches frozen bloodworms and other frozen goodies. You feel a little nibble and thats it. But these are from yoyo, zebra sized loachs. What they do do is pull much harder then you would think possible from such a little fish. I'll hold a cube of frozen brine shrimp and once and a while one of the little buggers will actually pull it form my fingers. Happy as a clam as he swims away with his prize trying desperately to keep the others at bay.
