Clowns that attack hands in the tank

Yesssir, my Clarkii does this from time to time. He always bites the cleaning magnet.

 

Got a pair from a guy moving out of state. He warned me that she was aggressive. She was fine till they made a nest. If I get in her half of the tank she starts acting territorial. When there are eggs down she has jumped out of the tank at me. My friend and I will have to distract her with a net while the other works in the tank. It hurts worse than getting nailed a couple times by this guys foot long cow fish. But, he's just a hungry hippo looking for food not trying to defend the brood.

 

Not only will she bite but she is sneaky at it too. Goes for the tender stuff between the fingers. Scared the crap out of me the first few times.

 

my big female gets that way when the eggs are out
