Female Feeding From My Hand

[samyboy]

so id shut my computer down and evrything was about to climb into bed and realised my female betta hadnt had anything to eat all day (aww poor little baby) so i treated her with a feast of dried bloodworms the first couple she wolfed down i then found a long enough one to hold between my fingertips and she gingerly took it and gu;ped it down, again she took it slowly and gobled it up i now found my fone and am ready to film her and shes had her fill or got camera shy.

just had to share that with you all and ill try catch her on film doing it tomorrow evening (oh i tryed it with the male he shot off soon as my hand appeard above him)

 

[samyboy]

thats pretty nifty!!! i tried the same thing w/ my betta last night and it worked. He jumped out of the water and got the bloodworm

My boy James will jump to snatch a pellet off my finger tip.

 

[samyboy]

Cute! Hope you can catch her on film and then post it for us! (film @ 11) B)

 

[samyboy]

hehe okay ill try, saw a video on another forum where this female actually jumps for her food, and quite high

 

[samyboy]

she wasnt hungry or just camera shy

Is that a male in the tank with her?

Hehe! She was a bit indecisive wasn't she! I'll try to get a video of James jumping for food tomorrow, i doubt a camera would be enough to put him off his dinner.

Is that a male in the tank with her?

yes, have no fear though they were in together to try and perk him up a bit, he was extremly timmid and kept backing away from here and i didnt leave them together
