Biting the hand that feeds you.

[Snaz]

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

. 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 #@&%. They can be nasty fish if they want.

Glad I'm not the only one with a "clowndevil" fish . 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.
