Yes it will hurt. Not suggested to feed by hand, makes tank cleaning harder as they may come at your hand thinking food. The bigger they get the harder they bite...

Your avatar pic is very cute! The 1st puffer in your vid looks a bit thin. Have you treated them for IPs yet?

They need a more varied diet and you need to be feeding them hard shelled foods, like snails, to keep their beaks trimmed. If their beaks overgrow then they will not be able to open their mouths to eat. IPs is short for Internal Parasites. I'm not sure what you have available in your country but people here use Jungle Parasite fizz tabs.

You can feed your puffers snails (Ramshorn are best), mussels, earthworms, tilapia, shrimp, bloodworms, black worms, oysters, squid, and other sea food. Please make sure anything you buy is UNCOOKED and UNSEASONED though. Freeze any seafood you get for at least 24 hours and then thaw in a bowl of tank water.

Pls do not feel offended by my comment.. I can't see any substrate in the video. From the look of the width, this should be a roughly 20g tank.. The water is cloudy too. I certainly hope U have a filter in there and not only the airstone.. I apologise if I am wrong, in advance.
