Today's tank maintenance did not go as planned

Common for clowns once they get to breeding age. They can become a terror and mean especially if they have eggs.

Last week I forgot the top screen on my tank. My neon goby jumped out of the water and landed on the upper lip of the tank and then jumped back in the tank.

So that means that it is going to get worse? My clowns are fairly young.

I let the MP10 dry out and turned it on it on today. It seems to be working fine!

Yes, much worse. Especially when they get big enough to take a chunk out of you. I had to take the RBTA away from my Maroon because it was impossible to live with.

Use to have a 3 stripe damsel when I started in this hobby that would bite me every time I stuck my hand in the tank. One day it startled me when I jerked stuck my arm on my 400w halide that had been burning all day. So 2nd degree burn later it became personal. I tried for 2 years to catch this fish even looked at mini harpoons. I only caught him when I upgraded tanks and then didn't have the heart to kill it. I ended up starting him his own nano tank where he resides to this day.

I needed a good laugh. Thanks. I tried really tiny fishing fly (no barb) one time and caught the wrong fish. I know how it can get personal! I still have my two Blue Devil Damsels that are eight years old. They're considered lunch in the tank they're in. But they are to wiley to get caught, but still they're on their own!
