lol Erik you're a riot. We hand feed ours and he's never got too close to and of my finger but I hold the silverside by the tip of it tail. I'm more scare the trigger is going to bite me. The trigger bit Tate my son he was feed the pred tank and watching TV, I told him to thaw the for because I had forgotten to take it out the night before so instead if putting the food in one of our fish food cup he figures he would hold the food in the tank to thaw it.and the trigger was waiting.
