So I couldnt believe it, but last thing I had my new cute blood parrot eat from my hand! I had a shrimp pellet and they eat the whole thing! This is the first time I have had fish of this size so I didnt expect it. Is it safe to hand-feed? Do they have teeth? Is it ok to feed using floating ciclid pellets? Someone told me that the bubbles and air they take in when feeding from the surface may be bad for them?
Thanks for your replies.
 
I use to always feed mine by hand but that was really only to get to come to me when i approcah the tank, everytime i even move from my chair now they all come to the front of the tanks on the scrounge.
as for floating pellets.. i feed all my fish some form of floating pellets with no problems but your fish will find it a bit easier to get to the sinking ones
