Oh yeah, my Oscars will just jump at my fingers while I'm cleaning the
tank.
If they catch you off guard it's a good shock. They've associated the
hand
with food obviously.

The other large cichlids I have aren't nearly as animated when it comes
to
feedings. They have good appetites but jumping out of the tank or
taking
food from my hand only happens with the Oscars for the most part.

Anyone else notice this?

Don't you just love Oscars? I mean, really, don't you just love them? Not
to
avoid your question but really, is there a more perfect fish?

Now if only they would stay small, so you could keep them in a
reasonable-sized tank.
My oscar is my favorite too, but I wish he would be ok in something smaller
than a 40 gallon tank.
