Fish that bite!!

[Gaines69]

Mine is definitely my female clown. ( she’s only like 1 1/2 inches but acts like a shark). She bites me every time my hand is in the tank. If I wear gloves she bites the gloves and shakes her head like a dog with a rope. Lol. But I love the little brat.

How many people have gotten that surprise little nip unexpectedly that caused you to pull your arm out so fast that water goes everywhere? ;Woot

Oh that happens to me a lot. And then I hurt myself hitting my hand on the rim of the tank as I’m jerking my hand out. Lol

Female Clown is mean as h*ll.. She attacks relentlessly when my bare hand is in the tank. If I wear my gloves she leaves me alone. Guess she knows she can't get any skin when I have them on.
She's the one on the left. The male doesn't mess with me. Yet!

I only have experience with my female clown, she is evil and takes every chance she gets to take a chunk out of me. Just look at that evil face.

Yes I would say that is an evil face.

Yes I would say that is an evil face.

I'm glad you agree, I swear she looks meaner and meaner the older she gets

Ha when you have experience of a clown fish chasing and biting you, then reading all these letters is so funny. How the hell did they get their " finding Nemo" nice for kids , reputation

My clown attacks my hand as soon as I come near his nemmy.

I have a cleaner wrasse that nips me all the time

Smallest fish in my tank is the only one that bites.... my Yellow Tail Damsel.... sneaky lil bugger!!! Too small to hurt and kind of funny watching him defend his cave!

I've owned many many freshwater American cichlids. My red devil and Midas pair had some nasty teeth and they gladly would chomp anyone anytime. Especially when they started spawning. Oh boy. You may as well just not come home that day I've heard dovii are pretty nasty too.

As far as saltwater, my maroon clowns like biting. I actually had to zip tie a piece of wood to my water change hose and do things that way because she would bite so hard.

Both of my clowns will go after me if I get too close while cleaning

 

[Instigate]

If I put my arm too close to my Tailspot Blenny's barnacle he'll start nipping at me. It's too cute.

 

[Thomashtom]

Broomtail wrasse. Will bite anything!!! LOL

Whenever I stick my hand in the tank, my starry blenny attacks me! It's like a pinch and surprising and annoying!
