Ouch - clowns!

[fishroomlady]

man, ever since my nem has hosted my clowns, they are vicious whenever I put my hand in the tank - regardless of where my hand is but it's particularly intense when my hand is near the nem. I have two black and white occys and they sure pack a mean bite!

Just wanted to vent since my arm and hand still hurt after a water change. :cry:

My snowflakes bit way harder than my black ocelerris do!

it hurts - it's every time I put my hand in the tank! I guess it helps to keep my hands out of the tank which is better anyway :)

If they are that aggressive, it sounds like there might be some eggs in your future ;) Also, punch them in the face, I find that helps

 

[fishroomlady]

really??!!! that would be awesome - I do kind of punch them actually lol - I've had them about 2 years so I'm thinking they should be close to spawning I hope

I'm trying to get mine to lay eggs. Would be nice because I'm trying to get into the breeding side of clowns.

 

[fishroomlady]

me too, or at least I'd love to give it a try. It seems very challenging but I'd like that

They're right around that age where it's coming, and with the increased aggression, that is a good sign that things are coming along, very nice clowns.
