    I spot feed my mandarin daily but my male and female clown... Mostly the male attack the crap out of my hand every time it goes in the tank. It is rather annoying to say the least. Anyways I am so proud of myself and must share it with someone, while the female was attacking me I just caught her in my hand with my bare hand and held her for a minute before releasing her. Then they both left my hand alone. (I know not really the best for their slime coat but they make me mad)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    My female learned to fly once, she bite me and held on, I whipped my hand out of the tank and she flew across the room and under the couch. I just can not stand getting bit at all. She will actually jump out of the water to bite me. Just not right dang it!!!!!!

    Maybe not the best thing for the fish, but to funny lol.


    I assume you picked the fish back up lol. I wouldn't want to get bit either though.
