my lawnmower blenny bites

[BadRoma1]

my lawnmower blenny runs up and bites me when i put my hand in the tank. anybody's fish bites when hands are in the tank? also am i the only one who has mean lawnmower blenny? he is so cute though.

[SumoBlenny]

My lawnmower does the same thing! That's where I got my RC name- it stomps back and forth like a sumo wrestler when I come too close, but really likes to hide and then dartout and chomp my hand.
You're right though. Very cute!

[Chad-Man]

If you bite him back, he will stop!

My female ocellaris attacks me and always seems to bite me right on the tender skin between my fingers.

I wear a thin scuba glove now..

[BadRoma1]

:D good one, chad man

[boomsticks]

Has anyone been attacked by a trigger? They don't feel to good..or better yet a snowflake moray?

My clown fish bits me when i have my hand in the tank. sometimes is scares the @#%$ out of me! he will bite and shake like he is trying to pull a chunk of meat out or me.

My cleaner shimp jump right onto my hands and start picking away until I make a sudden move or shake them off.I think its funny.

[tokitay]

my clownfish is like a pirranah. The thing is savage, and will draw blood!

[SumoBlenny]

My female ocellaris bites me in between my fingers as well and definitely draws blood whenever she can. I refuse to stick my hands in the tank because of her. I use aqua tongs instead! When I need to do fine work I take her out and put her in a bucket. That's her time-out spot. The male ocellaris is fine though and he never has to go into time-out.

My ex gf called my former lawnmower a doggyfish. Sometimes it'll let me pet it, sometimes it'll play with me, and yes, on one or 2 occassions, it has bitten me...or tried cleaning the algae on my hand or something. Either way, yes, very amusing. The only fish of mine that hurt was a Sargent Damsel, mean fish, it would push off the corals I place in the tank, hover over that spot and look at me with the expression of "now wut b!tch". I'm glad he passed imitating Nemo thru a filter.

3" Tomato Clown in my Dads Tank bites HARD and draws blood. He is a very Angry fish...

[mr pink floyd]

my frinds tang would nibble your finger, and my old GS maroon would bite yer figner, it felt pretty cool haha

[fittdog8848]

Man I have an awesome lawnmower and my percs never bite me. My cleaner does the hang on for dear life though. I have no idea why, I think he thinks my hand is a ride at the local amusement park. Anyway, sorry to hear so many people have fish with anger issues, but then again that is what makes our tanks different from each other......

[So Cal shaggy]

My lawnmower and my bi color would bite sometimes especially if I moved my hand too close to one of their "home rock" and all my clowns have always either bit or head butted my hand if I move it towards their anemone

[Alace]

My lawnmower and my Clarki both bit mostly the Clarki, the best thing to watch is my Hawk that will see a fly outside the tank and run around trying to get it.

My blennie bites the HE double hockey sticks outta me...and my powder blue tang attacks soon as you come close to the glass. Guess who's not living in my tank now....

[Alaskan Reefer]

I must be loaded with parasites, cleaner likes to clean my hand.

Mom's Long Horned Cowfish will bite your hands when you start moving rocks around. It will definately suprise you. Scared the crap out of me the first time he did it to me. It didn't really hurt but I was not expecting it and I didn't even notice him eyeing me. It is more of a 'suction' with 60 grit sandpaper bite than a 'chomping' bite.

My yellow Tang lately has gotten into the habit of trying to 'lay down' on my arm or in my hands when they are in the tank. It is kinda weird but he seems to like it, but sometimes I have to push him away to do/see something and he thinks I am playing with him, he just comes right back and tries to push me, he has even nibbled on my knuckles a few times.

My tomato clown bites me all the time and occasionally draws blood. She's a Biatch!

[zimmy1979]

My LWB doesn't do anything. He will actually sit around near the top or near my hand and not even move (I think he believes he is hidden against the rock)..but my female true percula..damn her!

[fishfanv]

dang, you all have some mean fish! i can't think of a time when any of my fish have bitten me, but the darn cleaner shrimp definitely likes to clean my hand. very creepy feeling.

[Psyire]

My little clown bites me if I stop moving my hand. lol

I can't stand my female Ocellaris! I can never work anywhere in the tank--she would also leap out of the water at my hand. The male is docile and hangs out near the nest but the female--whether they have current clutch of eggs or not--is relentless. I usually catch her in a net and place her in a bucket until I am done. Then i just stare and taunt her!

[agfahy]

While my lawnmower Blenny doesn't bite me, my GS Maroon is vicious! He attacks like I rabid dog!!
