VIDEO: Hand-Feeding Parachromis

[Tony]

Jim Peck was over on Saturday and we decided that it would be a good idea for *him* to hand feed my pair of Yellow Head La Ceiba.... who happened to be guarding fry.

He's promised to come back and do the same video with the same fish in a year from now.

Oh yeah... turn the sound up a bit for a bonus: hearing Jim curse in Filipino.

Thanks, Drew. Here's a thread from MFK from 2008 where both Ken Davis (fishfarm) and Mo Devlin (Aquamojo) weigh in on the history of these fish. I got mine from Mo.

Very cool fish indeed.

Come on Jim

Awesome. My JDs used to eat from my fingers without biting me, even while guarding fry. Those must be some pretty aggressive little devils. Look great. Wish I had more room.

Thank you to both Jim and Tony for that! I needed a good laugh today!

Somehow I knew that wasn't going to end well...

Kudos to Jim for getting bitten. And Maria for putting up with both of you!
