    I get bit by my little clown fish all the time. He seems to think its funny. Nothing compares to feeling the rush of water when my rabbit fish takes a swipe at me though.

    haha yea some fish tend to not be so shy especially if you've had them for a while...i guess sometimes they think that your in their territory even though your in control of everything....i've been bit by my grouper before...didnt hurt but he could of bit more of my finger than he did

    My maroon used to bite me when the anemone was around. Didn't hurt....but it did surprise me the first time. Almost knocked the tank down.
