We had a small unicorn tang at my LFS that we fed algae flakes and pellets and the way it ate was awesome it didn't wait for it so sink it just swam up to the top and ate the food almost popping its head out of the water. Plus when we got the tang In it was on deaths doorstep and now it is extremely healthy but we sold it

I bet it was very cool to see the "Horn" popping out of water.

unfortunately its horn was only a small lump about the size of a piece of chewed gum since it was so young but yes it was cool

My Wrasses, the epitome of sneak thieves, especially when they grab a big piece of food and lead all the other fish on chases around the tank. Although my Foxface is pretty funny when he goes chipper/shredder on my Seaweed:

I used to feed my Snowflake Eel by hand, it took a while for me to be brave enough but once I did it was great, that was my favourite fish to feed but I also love to watch tangs and foxface just pecking at the rocks all day.

Really hard to choose. All of my fish are so shy! I think my Labout's wrasse would sleep in my bed with me if it was under water.

I feed all my fish by hand now but before I used to feed my fish and my chromis would come right up to me and eat the food out of my Hand. I got a copper band and he would t eat what I feed everyone else so I have mysis and he nibbles at it out of my hand so and no one else would try and eat it. He knows when it’s his turn so that’s my fav fish to feed. Now all the fish are getting more comfortable when it’s feeding time and eat anything out of my hand that I put in there

My Copperband. He twitches his head to get fed. Will eat from my hand. He gets a frozen clam once a week. Later in the week he will even swim over to the mesh clip I reserve only for the thawed clam. He will bob @ it likes he is saying " where is my weekly clam!".

Blue green chromis. I have 6. Every time I walk by the tank they all school up to the feeding spot and beg for food.
Put a couple drops of r.o.e and they are all over the tank chasing the eggs once the powerhead breaks them up.

Pike Blenny. Little pig.

Barnacle blennies are always fun to feed but my personal favourite is my marine betta simply because it makes a whole cube of frozen dissappear in a split second.

My purple tang just kills nori

My favorite was my lionfish back a few years ago. Those guys act lazy till there's food around.

 

[CivicS14]

If eels count, the. Definitely my gold dwarf moray. It would snatch the food and bring it into its cave and chomp down on it.

Loved hand feeding my burgess:

 

[Waters]

I can tell you what my favorite fish to NOT feed is...my pair of bird wrasses. Never fails, they crash the surface of the water throwing saltwater on my shirt and down the front of my freshly cleaned glass :mad::mad:

 

[Beardo]

My current favorite would be my Desjardini tang. He just gets so excited when he sees the food cup.
Since the thread started with freshwater...All time favorite was my small alligator gar I had back in the early 80s. It would spend 15 to 30 minutes slowly stalking the goldfish before striking.
