I was gluing a new digi today and my lawnmower blenny decided to take a shot at me, he’s small and I have the hands of a lowland gorilla so not much of an event but got me thinking. In all the years how many times I’ve been bit in the tank. I had a maroon clown that truly enjoyed nipping me any time I stuck my hands in the tank but the worst was a shoal tang that was pure evil he once got me so good I was bleeding, though he did not bite, he slashed me That fish hated me so much anytime I went by the tank he did his best to attack me through the glass. Whenever I need to work on the tank my wife had to coral him with nets to keep me safe lol.
 
Have yet to be bitten by a fish ... just zapped by electricity.

I had a clown fish that would bite... he later went carpet surfing. A while back I was doing maintenance on the tank and later I noticed a spot on my arm hurting, it progressed into what appeared like a second degree burn probably quarter inch x quarter inch.
 
Always the dang clownfish lol
Was about to post the same thing. I have two pairs that are absolute monsters.
I have a Pixy Hawkfish who tries to bite our fingers through the glass but as soon as I have a hand in the tank cleaning or working, he's hiding. LOL What a tough guy!
 
My female clown lives to bite me. I think biting me is what gives her purpose in life. Haha

This guy caught me pretty good. Was in the middle of feeding him and got distracted while still holding a shrimp in my hand and my hand in the tank. Since he was already in a feeding frenzy he didn't care if I was looking or not. Chomp Chomp!;Inpain:oops:;Facepalm
