Killer clownfish!

Rate this Entry
Just thought I'd share this. I've noticed a couple of baby clownfish in my tank (pinhead sized) and today I was picking at some gha and the big clownfish (2") attacked my hand and bit me so hard he drew blood!!! Man they have sharp little teeth and so brave!!! I think I'll name him Clownbo!!!

    yeah they tend to get a bit on the aggressive side especially when any type of spwning behavior is involved, but the bigger one is more likely female so maybe clownshefa? I used to have a problem with my female bullying on my hands during maintenance and then forcing the male to beat up on me too (literally she would get tired and push him over to my hand till he started attacking to.) They no longer go after me and one thing I did was I started doing maintenance more when the lights went off and when I did dare enter the tank during the daylight hours enter the tank slowly and on the oposite side of their territory. Slowly but surely they started leaving me alone. also what may have helped was I added a yellow tang to the tank making the female the second largest fish in the tank and I think that kind of put her in her place as well.
