Tell us about your annoying fish

[aggrofish]

so when I get busy and don’t have time to defrost food I grab a piece of frozen and hold it in front of a powerhead to let it disperse in the tank. My sailfin always comes and starts eating. thats not to bad, but it’s pretty annoying anytime I’m trying to move a coral, clean, etc the sailfin is always in the way. I often have to physically move him/her. Cool fish but very needy. Worse than my dog.

Escenius lineatus, absolute nightmare but not for what you’d assume. This fish is on the edge of being my enemy fish because it pecks at new fish (I’m pretty sure he stressed my Pink Streak to the point of death) and took a liking to one of my dream corals, managing to basically kill it - an RD Joker Stag.

I had a six line that bullied a smaller male clown to death. Obv that fish had to go. Stressed out my yellow eye Kole tang enough to make him sick and require QT with a female clown. #justsaynotosixlines

I read this thread title and instantly thought about your blenny.

I think it’s time to rehome him. You can’t think (pun intended) about giving up on your favorite SPS corals just for a blenny (at least get a pretty angel fish lol).

But seriously, you want SPS.

So far, he hasn’t touched the Stylo or Yongei, but man I’m getting annoyed at him.

it’s strange, this was the first time he had ever gone after a fish, he’s gone for coral but fish I think I’ll try one last time with this blenny before submitting to getting rid of him - I think it’s longer polyped SPS that he goes for. Unless he knew this coral was doing badly anyway.

I've got one or two that get overly excited at feeding time. They splash me, and after I clean all the water up and wipe the rim of the tank down they finally calm down enough to be fed. Then they splash me again after they're done and I have to clean up again all over.

In freshwater I’ve got a blood parrot that likes to jump out for food. Once he jumped out of the tank and onto the floor while I was feeding.

Only recently in another tank I have my female clown has gotten super aggro. when I put my hand in the tank it attacks. Yesterday it jumped out of the tank to the floor trying to get me. I used to be able to move it by hand.

The Clarikii Clownfish. This fish bites more than a rabid dog. He/she use to grab everything if I put in the tank (food or not, does not care). My kid threw a plastic wrapper in the tank, and this demon grabbed and kept it under rock work. I tried to remove it, ended up with few drop of blood on my finger.

Starry blenny for me. Great personality, he's just a little bugger!

Every time I feed frozen, he has to be the first to the pile. I feed frozen by just rubbing it between my fingers in the tank.

The blenny has to be the first one, always biting the frozen block, often times missing the block, and getting my fingers!

Of course they do not have teeth that can penetrate human skin, but still makes me jump every time.

Clowns.... I spent 2 years and hundreds of dollars on anemone trying to find them a host. Now they barely ever come out. When they do, it's to bite me anytime I put my hands in the tank.

My royal gramma takes the cake. Little bugger dug a burrow directly under the rock, and put all of the sand on top of the rock. He is also sure to give the corals a light dusting every time he does some excavation. The best part is that he only uses the burrow to sleep at night, and only about a third of the time.

Mine usually wedges himself in a crevice under the rocks

For me it was my Undulate Trigger. It would rearrange all of the corals in the tank to its liking. Of course it would always ensure that the corals were upside down for good measure. Super glue was not a deterrent for this fish.
