Maybe he was just ****ed at you for not feeding it enough

Thats funny right there ! I only have one clown and will only have one strictly for that reason . Though maybe he felt bad for biting you and wanted to kiss and make up.

My clarkii was just as evil.......although she never jumped right out of the water to attack. she did however draw blood on a few occasions

I get nipped at constantly when cleaning the tank from my clown... after hearing this though i might just throw on a pair of safety glasses next time

[lastlight]

Maybe the kids tap the glass and he's had enough?

[lockrookie]

i can understand the kids tapping but really they dont. they try to bite everyones fingers as you feed them and they get fed more than enough...part of the reason for my algea problem.... i just think in general i have ninja clowns trained in the art of suicidal attacks.

i do agree with the safety glasses idea, id be ok with swimming goggles.. lol cause if i hadnt moved my head the bugger would have landed his teeth into my eye...instead it bounced off the side of my head...i wish i had a video camera running at that moment. coulda won some tank fundage from funniest home vids.. so to bebon the safe side i think i will start recording my maintenance timesjust incase lol

i can tell you all tha i willbe more cutious inmy cleaning from now on those orange piranas are out to get me and will not rest untill ive been maimed or eaten

I had a clown with the exact same attitude. It also eventually took a shoot at me by jumping into my face while I was balancing on a stool and leaning right over the tank placing a coral or something, needless to say it wasn't my best moment. I hate clown fish
