Who bit you in your tank?

[CMMorgan]

From now on I am pulling the plug on anything. Got a jolt putting my hands in my tank once when the wire insulation was compromised on my power head

It happens!! In my case, I had a Hydor Koralia leaking stray voltage. There was also a pump on my Reef Octo skimmer that was suspect. I'm still jumpy and now I wear gloves - nice long ones if I have any real work to do. I will admit to getting occasionally lazy with food but I'm like 95% gloves - 100% slippers. If I change socks or work in the sump, I cut power. Honestly, I do a better job without flow throwing nasty stuff everywhere anyway so it's kind of a no brainer. Not shutting down is really lazy.
Stay safe.

Always the dang clownfish lol

what he said!

This guy caught me pretty good. Was in the middle of feeding him and got distracted while still holding a shrimp in my hand and my hand in the tank. Since he was already in a feeding frenzy he didn't care if I was looking or not. Chomp Chomp!;Inpain;Facepalm
Felt like this,

That looks so painful

My pair of clowns, I swear they took turns.

[AydenLincoln]

No one lol! Knock on wood my fish love me and know I’m going to feed them.

 

[Crotalus]

My Niger Trigger. His name is Satan.

Its not a fish but my skunk cleaner shrimp sometimes decides to rip a chunk of skin from my hand and runs off with it if I don't let him 'clean' my hand before doing tank maintenance.

Would love to see videos of both!

This one here will eat from my fingers when it's feeding time...but if any more than my fingers go into the tank, it gets bitten !

Use to have a blue throat trigger that gave me a strong bite on my index finger once that it drew blood and hurt for a week. Was so shocked because it always appears so sweet and calm. After the fish always gave me this look as if he was saying - got you really good didn’t I!

My Niger Trigger. His name is Satan.

Yep, Niger trigger for me too. Would light me up every time I had my hand in the tank. After several bites, I tried to intimidate him by making my hand big and being aggressive toward him… bad idea, lol. Had to find him a new home because he was seriously about to eat Nemo (now Pirate Nemo because he has one eye and a peg leg dorsal fin, all thanks to the trigger). He was beautiful, but I don’t miss him a bit.
Although my clownfish is as docile as could be. After reading all these posts, maybe I should thank big blue for that!

Ours is called Dracula lol. This guy has bitten me the worst. He was almost a foot long when he passed. Wife used to hold him back with eggcrate when I haf to work in the tank. Sorry not saltwater

 

[Cool Ethan]

My midas blenny! He's gotten used to me now but when I first got him it was pretty constant lol

 

[The_Skrimp]

No bites yet. I’ve been popped by my pistol shrimp which just felt like someone flicking at my finger and I rubbed an eye after messing with zoas once causing a nasty reaction and a drs visit. Im crossing my fingers that I never get stung by my fox face. If anyone is going to bite me though it’s my small male clown. He makes “fight me! I dare you!” moves every time my hand is anywhere near his corner of the tank.

 

[HBtank]

No biters yet, the clown in my avatar was a sweetheart and model citizen for 15 years, and no other fish I had are really known for it. Cleaner shrimps tickle though!

I was gluing a new digi today and my lawnmower blenny decided to take a shot at me, he’s small and I have the hands of a lowland gorilla so not much of an event but got me thinking. In all the years how many times I’ve been bit in the tank. I had a maroon clown that truly enjoyed nipping me any time I stuck my hands in the tank but the worst was a shoal tang that was pure evil he once got me so good I was bleeding, though he did not bite, he slashed me That fish hated me so much anytime I went by the tank he did his best to attack me through the glass. Whenever I need to work on the tank my wife had to coral him with nets to keep me safe lol.

Any fish that bites me does not get a second chance.

Back to the LFS, or swimming their way to the ocean

 

[Bucs20fan]

I have a 6 inch clown tang that really doesn’t like my hand in the tank, flares his fins and takes swipes at me. Bites me a lot when I’m cleaning the glass and finally drew blood yesterday. Wife wasn’t to happy. And of course now she’s afraid of the tank bc of the tang of all things that are in this tank……not the puffers or triggers just the tang.

 

[Alexraptor]

My Ocellaris clown will always bite/try to bite me when I start rearranging corals or aquascape, and will even attack "new corals"!

But my maroon was an evil *******, and after I nearly broke the aquarium front panel, when he bit me, I traded him in for store credit at the local LFS.

 

[Jbell370]

Only my jewel damsel and only when I move something, clearly he doesn’t agree with my aqua scape choices.

 

[Kyler P]

My clown would always try to pull all the hairs off the back of my hand while cleaning the glass hahaha
