So now that my Huma trigger has reached 4", he is very interested in my fingers. He has nipped one of them while I was netting a fish. What do you all do to prevent them from snacking on your hand?

I also have a Niger trigger that I’ve had for about eight years.....and he has drawn blood on my hands at least five time.
I seriously laughed out loud at this video. Multiple times! I'm probably going to hell, oh well.

I recommend gloves too. I use normal length nitrile glove a lot like when handling live rock, but I also use these cheap calf birthing shoulder length gloves over them sometimes when I am deep in the tank. They come in 100 pack and come out to about $0.13 each.

Do you have any photos or a video. Love to see your Indian trigger.I was joking but yeah, I don’t myself really know what can stop my Indian trigger from taking a chunk out of me, as I doubt those gloves would do that job, buuuut, for moving my frags I would love to have some of those.
He’s in a hospital tank together with other tank mates atm due to a disease outbreak, so the picture wouldn’t look great, but I might be able to find a good picture or video of him to post tomorrow.Do you have any photos or a video. Love to see your Indian trigger.
Yeah I bet, they learn very quickly!When he gets close to biting grab him and give him a little squeeze or pull him out of the water for a minute, he won’t bite you again!
That they do. Also you can grab it and toss them in the sump for a day, these things actually work, it might take a couple times, they associate the hand with an uncomfortable event thus they stop the hand aggression. Just be careful on the squeeze, if eyeballs pop out or such you squeezed to hardYeah I bet, they learn very quickly!
