How to get clownfish to stop biting me

[littlefoxx]

Just bleed into the water more so it can't see your hand...

Joking aside, I gotta try this glove thing. I tried the whole "Just ignore it and it will stop" thing and it didn't work with mine. She has now started to try to get at my hand above the tank, she splashed me in the face the other day.

Yep mine did that until she started jumping out of the tank and biting me -.-

I'm not worried about my clowns as much as my large Oscars in my other tank.

Aw those are just big water puppies!

Should I keep a fly swatter handy?

Just imagine for a minute your hand getting shredded by a Piranha and the biting from the Clownfish won’t seem so bad after all.

Piranhas play dead when you stick your hand in the tank…clowns go for the kill

Lol probably! My maroon female is so nice and the jumping clownfish was a picasso or something lol

This - the best defense is a good offense. My male platinum is mean as hell
