will clowns eat from my fingers?

I have five clowns, and all eat ravenously -- but not from my fingers. They just won't.
The kuhlis come right up of course, and the betta (much to my surprise, as I'm not very experienced with bettas and tossed him in, hoping for the best, when a coworker lost interest in him in a bowl on her desk).
Will my clowns ever eat from my fingers? I've been trying every day for months and they dart in and out, just an inch or so away, eating the scraps the others pull off. I've tried most every type of fish food, they come closest for frozen bloodworms. Lights on or off doesn't seem to matter.
Or am I the only crazy person who likes to feed her fish by hand?
