Is my RES hatchling getting to know me as it's feeder? It begs for food on the glass and I sometimes lead him to pellets that the water carries away by putting my finger on the tank and letting him/her follow it.

Yup, sounds like he's made the connection that "big head" = food

That is cool isnt it?!

Just incase?! Dont feed your baby every time it begs...keep it on a schedule if you already have one, awesome, if not..please read about feeding on this site. You will have a BIG baby with some growth issues if you feed it all the time.

Its hard to NOT give in to the cute baby face "begging"..but you have too!

Good luck!
