I'm excited, my Jack Dempsey ate from my hand for the first time today. I has been really skittish since I got him about two weeks ago. I discovered about a week ago that he really loves earthworms. I just started dangling one outside the tank and teasing him before tossing it in, and je started begging at the top, and sure enough, I finally put my hand in and he took it. This is the first time I've ever been able to get a fish to do that, although I realize lots of people do it.
 
Cool!! My Oscar eats his worms from my hand too.He gets real excited when he sees me with his worm bowl in my hand!!! He LOVES them!!!
