Biting the hand that feeds you.
 

I have read similar posts of reefer's clownfish nipping them when they put their hands in the tank but my little perc is a piranha! I swear I can feel the teeth on this one inch monster and it makes me jump so high each time!

If I peer down from above he practically jumps out to bite me! His little clown face comes right out of the water in a frenzy to nip my nose. Little Nemo is quickly becoming Little Diablo in my eyes.

I feel your pain im going through the same thing with a true perc.

mine have never bit me. even when they knock over their torch and i have to get it upright again. guess im lucky.

thats nothing
 

I had a tomato clown that drew blood. I could not quite belive it myself.

:lol:. Great pic. My male, sent out by the female will bite my hand. Its not bad though. A friends male perc is nasty and has taken a hunk out of both myself and him.

My former Cinnamon,s would go for the skin between my fingers and hold on.

Sheez, nemo,s my #@&%. :lol: They can be nasty fish if they want.

Glad I'm not the only one with a "clowndevil" fish :twised:. And they look so cute and cuddly just swimming there. Until I put my hand in the tank. In my case they are defending a Zenia that they are hosting. I finally had to buy the full length gloves so I could work in the tank.

My little black occ is also a vicious little sob, but I love him. He bit me 3 times last night while mounting corals and only stopped when I put a fish net in the tank while I was working. Once the fish net goes in, he hides in the corner, lol.

LOL nice picture. Mine does the same thing I can't even get my hand close to the tank without her charging.

mines the same way, even 3ft away from his "house" he will bite hard(plastic tongs go ting). So in goes the net and then i can do some work. Its more scary than my lion fish.

:cry:I had a cute little tomato clown and that thing attacked everything I put into the tank including a prized brown tang. It chewed it to threads. I have run into it in town here it is in this tank and I do laugh when I see it. I sure wasn't laughing when it turned into a tiny jaws.
