I had a betta pallifina who would eat from my hands. Her and her mate would leap up to grab the food if I was too slow in bringing it down for them. A great reminder for how high up the could jump.
I'm talking without changing nutrients. obviously impossible but the dream!

TANK TALK: Manual feeding is an important activity by which to observe and evaluate all the animals in your care. Tell us about your feeding routine. Did you know the Plank mixing chamber is a convenient means to manually feed frozen food? What are your thoughts or questions concerning the balance between manual and automatic feeding?
I have two auto feeders and mixng chambers. But I also feed frozen, try to do it twice a day but that normally only happens on weekends. Just toss the frozen in the chambers and let them go at it
ohhh I thought it was a new topic being posted based off how to was responded to. DisregardI think this was already a tank talk
Our most active fish is our Starry Blenny. I built him a condo - a piece of 3/4" PVC pipe with broken rock glued around it and some pally corals growing on the rock. The PVC is open on both ends so sometimes he zooms in headfirst and comes out the other side. Often he backs into the tube which everyone laughs at. If I put my hand in the tank for any reason he likes to chase me away.
He's quoting without quoting.I think this was already a tank talk
For active and acrobatic, would definitely have to be the tailspot blenny. Zooms all around the tank, but the real acrobats is his perching/reverse movements. Watching him back up into a barnacle is always funny. But sometimes he finds the weirdest places to perch, like on the side of a rock--looks like he's glued to the rock, but there's actually a very tiny ridge that he'll be perched on sideways.

Apparently, I need more entertaining fish. Which comes first ...the lid or the entertaining fish?

Surprisingly, my yellow assessor. It's out the longest each day — from the first hint of light until the last light in the house goes off at night. I wouldn't call it high energy But I love the relaxed, chill vibe it brings when it's hovering upside-down or doing somersaults near its hidey-hole during bright hours of the day ... and its curious explorative nature in the twilight hours.
Current feeding routine:
Not reef or salt related since setting up my first saltwater tank now but we used to have freshwater with a silver arowana. Wife and I loved it because it never stopped swimming just slow and steady like a great white in the ocean, constant movement. But if you weren't fast enough to get the food in the water it would try to jump and grab it out of your hand. There were a couple times during the night we would awaken to the sound of something crashing into the glass lids on the tank to hear flopping on the floor. He would jump so hard he would nock the glass lids out of the way far enough to escape and I would have to jump out of bed to go grab him and get him back in the tank. After a few years he outgrew our system and we had to sell him but we really liked that fish.
I had a Super Red Texas cichlid that would go crazy in his tank every time he saw my oldest daughter until she came to the tank and play with him. He would go ape $h!t in the tank almost knocking the glass top off.
I have two chromis in my 20L and they are the most active, second to my bar goby. My bangaii just picks a spot to sit and chill in or slowly stroll through the front of the tank. My neon goby is always perched waiting to go and clean the other goby. other active members are our blue legged hermit and our conch. They will do a lap around the tank in no time. I don’t have a close up of the chromis
