mean clown

[greasyclownG]

my clown fish will attack and bite my hand repeatedly when I give sushi nori to his pygmy angel tankmate
has this ever happened to you?

[weez1959]

Yup! We have a maroon clown that's always doing that, she hate when you touch anything in HER tank. As long as you have a hand in the tank she continuously tries to poke/bash/bite and chase until you're done and when you're finally out she swims to the front of the tank and with her crabbly face says "AND STAY OUT!" She's a really crabby little fish unlike her meek little mate.

My wife won't put her hands in the tank anymore unless she distracts the little turd with a plastic food dropper
I call her a big pansy since he must have bitten me 1000 times by now
don't get me wrong, it doesn't feel good but he's only about 2.5 inches
he can't do much damage
I think she gets nervouse because his attack looks so vicious more so than it hurts

Thats so funny my 4 stripe damsel the big male gos at me all the time for a 2.5 inch hes got guts <LOL> I LOVE THAT SPUNKYNESS ,BIG BAD AZZ :fighting0066:

[greasyclownG]

this particular clown is about to git dropped in a 20high designed especially for an engineer goby, I wonder, has any one ever had a nasty engineer goby?
He is so shy I can't imagine him being mean to my clown

i had a maron clown that was about 4 inches and i had to get rid of him because he was so aggressive..it was sad he would attack me, and hes killed a couple fish, and when he got irratated would even start biting corals..?!?!

lol funny thing is, today when i had my hand in the tank to do some stuff(hand feed my serpeant starfish) i felt a pinch. i didnt think that any hermits were on me though.. i look at my arm.. there he is, my clown fish is pecking at me! lol. it didnt hurt or anything but it was weird how something so small could be so mean if you go in his way

[icereefer]

Ounce for ounce Damsels get pretty offensive.

[Elsherst]

I've had my damsels peck at me a few times.

[specsgirl]

Sushi...they would be sushi...lol

[Elsherst]

Sushi...they would be sushi...lol

lol
I kinda want to take most of the damsel's out, make room for something else in there. Still waiting on a Co-worker to pick up a tank from his brother that I want to buy. If I can get it soon enough I'll let them get lost in the new tank (current tank 55g, new one 300g)

[specsgirl]

mmm...nice...300 gals....mmmm....

[Gimis66]

You'll love the 300. I went from 150 to a 280 w/70 fuge. It's perfect. I tossed the Damn-sels in the 150, with the Puffers, They can hold thier own!
NO MORE BITES FOR ME, YEAH!

[Elsherst]

It didn't bother me at all when they nip at me. My wife is to scared to get her hand in the tank, she screamed when she did it one time and the cleaner shrimp tried to clean her hand, she didn't see it and wasn't expecting it.

[geneq]

I had a Clown completely eat a RBA before i could stop it.

[Gimis66]

LOL The Puffer bit me 1x, after that the Damn-sel went after me every time I fed. He's a Domino, about 4 1/2 inches. My husband still laughs at me for threatening to boil him in oil!! LOL

[Condiman]

[Elsherst]

I like to use lemon peper on mine.
