I have a 35G tank and it houses
3 yellow labs
and 2 other cichlids but i do not know there name but i belive its hongi.

Anyway, i recieved these 5 fish about 3 months ago and they have settled in well and grown from about 1" to around 1" and a half
These youngsters have built up their trust with me over time and now when i put my hand in to feed them they come up and eat out of my fingers
i was just wondering if anyone else have fish that do this or even people who also have malawi cichlids that do this.

Yup all my fish from the Betta, Angelfish to the Ps. acei fry 1" will eat from my fingers. I am hoping to get our severums hand fed eventually.
My Malawi cichlids over the years have always ate from the fingers.

Hi Ben!!

My parents have a large pond in our garden with is home to a few HUGE Koi. They've always eaten from out hands.

I have a Malawi tank and have never tried to hand feed them. I'll give it a go and get back to you!!!
