Hey guys this is an odd one
sorry if there is another post related i tried looking ...
ive had my clowns for like 8 months and only in the last 2 weeks or so i cant put my hand or arm in the water without the female attacking me .....
She constantly bites me causing me too bleed ....
never ever before has she even cared im in the tank .and now all of a sudden bam ... its very irritating when trying to clean or fix a rock coz my arm twitches every time she bites me lol
oh and also she dosnt attack the other tank mates at all ...
what kind of clown is she?
My maroon routinely bites hard enough to draw blood.
oh ok so im not the only one .... its an ocellaris ....
They are usually a little nicer. Does she have eggs somewhere?Quote:

My strategy it to always keep one eye on the clown and never get my hands too close to the BTA!
Has the aggression died down any yet?
hey yeh man it has .. wierd ey but she hasnt bitten me since my last post now ... makes me happy ; )
I'm glad you clown has laid off, but it always surprises me when peeps wonder why they get bitten by their clownfish after they get a bit of age and size on them...they are, after all, nothing but nasty little damsels in fancy pajamas.
I've kept two clowns (at the insistence of the kids), different species, several years apart, and they were both nasty. I got rid of them both for that very reason, and will never keep one again. I'll stick with all of my venomous fish, thank you very much (at least they don't bite).

ROFL! Something nice and tame. :)Quote:

Could you do this with a nasty fish?

Who has to be aggressive when they are poison?
my ocellaris clown fish has jumped out of the water trying to attack me. but my anemone got sucked into one of my powerheads and died now she is as nice as can be. im waiting for my Rose Bubble tip to split in my 90 so i can give them another anemone. I always worn heavy duty gloved when i had to put my hands in there. I feel really bad for them cause they are still looking for there anemone i hope it splits soon. ocellaris clowns are nothing compared to the rath of a maroon clown i have on of those to
