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

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

I have three and it seems they try to host me while my hands in the tank never once nipped but love to brush off my hand and arm

Although my Fire Clowns have never left the water to get me, they will however, take a nice-sized chunk out of you if you get within 2 feet of their Nem. Once the big bitch got me good and when I pulled my hand back I cracked my elbow on the euro-bracing. Came real close to filleting her that day!

Maybe he hates being in a tank and misses the wild lol He was an adrenaline junkie and got his kicks being chased around by sharks and such

Perhaps you have Finding Nemo on the tv far too much and its just trying to reinact the escape scene.

Ok thanks.....now I'm stuck with the concept of "ninja clowns" in my head...

seriously....would they sneak into your house in the dark of night and leave balloon animals all over the place?
