hand feeding fire eels

wots the best way to hand tame/feed them

 

[Bomag]

i have found when trying to tame my eels / fish the best way is put your arm in with the food and keep still they will then realise that your hand is not going to harm them.
after a while it could be a short or as long while it will get used to you , then you can start moving your arm up the tank towards the top over the next few weeks bringing it up and up..

one thing to be aware of is depending on your eel it will try and bite you fingers and when it gets to my size it WILL bite your fingers starting to take skin off.

(also large fish can do this ie: my oscars are clumsy with there mouths)

my arrowana is also clumsy and will take skin off if it gets you.

not wanting to be obvious but the younger the fish the better and easier to tame

good luck
