Hand Feeding Fairy Wrasses

Well, its taken some time and lots of patience, but I've been able to get my fairy wrasses to start feeding from my hand. Just posting some pictures.

Here's the Rhomboid and the Pink Margin darting at some mysis shrimp:
 
Its tough to hold a camera, photograph and feed at the same time. So I apologize that its not a crisp shot. However, here's a shot with 4 fish coming in for a bite.

The blurry pink one on the bottom right is a female Pyle's fairy, The dark purple one is a Goldbar.

Pretty sweet! That must have taken some time and patience for those guys to do that. Are there certain ones that are more timid than others?

I can't say that one fairy wrasse is more timid than another. However, the mystery wrasse still hasn't joined in like the others. He gets pretty close, but doesn't pick right frommy fingers like the others. I'm hoping that he will soon.

I just love your wrassers! Pretty cool that you got them to eat from your hand! They obviously don't see you as a threat! Good job!
