tank cleaning with clowns

[Maverick00]

Is it common to have an aggressive male clownfish when cleaning the inside glass of your aquarium? He always followed my hand around but now hes constantly trying to nip at my hand. The little bugger got me good this morning, i damn near elbowed my light fixture off the tank.

my female black & white clown does the same packs a good punch when shes had enough of my hand being in there

both of mine have bit me several times.. so it is not unusual

I've had numerous different paired clowns, they are all like that. The best is when you're not expecting the nip/head-butt... and you knock your light fixture clean off the tank...crippling a couple bulbs...

I haven't done that though..........it was....a friend of mine...

I had a pair of cinnamon clowns once that were like that. The female packed a wallop, she actually drew blood once.

I hated those clowns. I would have fed them to a grouper if I knew someone who had one. Giving them away was far less satisfying, but accomplished the same goal.

My female isnt quite that bad yet. Only time she gets like that is if my hands anywhere close to her anenome. She's managed to get me a few times

I have a false hosting a frogspawn about the size of my head every time I go in my tank he chases me around I usually end up chasing him around for a while same with my cleaner shrimp ...
