Default Cat fish handelling help

When I handfeed my fish, my Cory is one of the first on my hand. I have read that their fins are dangerous and they can get spooked and hurt you, but all this time my fish have been very comfterbel with me. Shoul I stop all together?

i do not believe this is true... maybe u read wrong.. they are not sharp and actually YOU can harm them or their sensitive barbels.... make sure u have soft substrate for them and dark hiding places. and plants and they will be fine! no need to hand feed. they will find the food!

I obviously don't hand feed them every meal,
About once a week or so maby. They have very rounded gravel for loach tanks, and when I say hand feed I mean put my hand half way in the tank and lay a shrimp pellet in my palm, I was just wondering if they could hurt me if they got spooked.
