    Aren't you worried about breaking the glass? STick your hand in and scare them away. They will learn eventually. Even my cleaner shrimp learned not to bother my duncans.

    Do not pound on the glass Puffer!!!!! The fish use their lateral line to "hear" and amplify sound under water. Tapping on the glass creates vibrations which they pick up, and can harm their lateral lines. It is rare, but it can happen.

    i dont pound that hard. And my clowns arent afraid of my hand, they bite me extremly hard
    i only do it once in a while, i knew it was bad to pound on the glass, but i figured it would annoy the clowns and make them stop their bullying. I shall stop and hopefully tomorrow i will have a new fish weather chromis or mccoskers wrasse
