Cool, get me one too!! All the kids in the neighborhood love my fish and they all want to feed him. (Except that he won't eat from anyone but mu hubby and I) They all wanna stick their hands in the water and touch him. I don't want their scrubby little paws in my tank!! LOL I work hard on that murky look!! J/K actually, I'm trying to get rid of it!! LOL

Well, my pigs will eat from anyone, they're not picky, they do wag their tails when they see me though, beggers all the time :) But heck if you've got food for them they'll make you their best friend :)

Jack will downright refuse to eat from anyone else! In fact he practically sulks when someone else just walks up to the tank!
He's such a big baby!! LOL

He's a very emotional little boy who needs that special care. Mine are a bunch of college frat animals searching for the keg! If you want him getting used to other people try this, wearing different hats or larger jackets when feeding him. It took a while before my "albino" tiger got used to my roommates feeding him. He would kinda of shy to the corner by the heater until he would see me, then go crazy. It took a while but he finally got used to "other people" feeding him. Now he doesn't care. Its just a suggestion thought. Don't know if it would really work.

My ex was making fun of my beautiful red oscar, George, so I told him to stick his finger in the water. His finger didn't even make the water before George got it in his mouth! Hee hee serves him right for calling my beautiful Georgy Porgy ugly!Everybody in my dorm is always bring bugs for the fish to eat and asking if they've "done it yet?"

Well, I guess that's why he's your "ex"?
