    I do have some big fish, and I've seen posts where they'd drawn blood by hitting the owners hand.

    But by far my most agressive fish that often hits my hand when I"m not looking at it and least expecting it- which scares me briefly, is my smallest fish- The Strawberry Basslet!

    Yours ever nip at your hand in the tank? Scary for a second, huh?

    Luckily, he too small to draw blood, but it does hurt a bit

    My female clown attacks my hand all the time. No blood yet but she is getting bigger.

    My clown nails me when I have a turkey baster in my hand. It's my fault though. I chase of anyone trying to steal food from my acans with it :hammer:

    I feed with a net and use gloves when doing tank work, so no encounters yet! No doubt my BSJ would nip at me if I didn't wear gloves.
