If he's really hungry, Spot will swim right up to the feeder and wait for a blast of food. Usually though he stays a few inches away and waits for the food to drift towards him.
thats an amazing pic! If you wouldn't mind could I get a hi-res copy of that?
It's amazing how unafraid fish are of the droppers and how quickly they learn to feed from it. Thanks so much for taking the time to share the picture.
