When fish attack.....you!

OMG my golden severum just bit me!!!! I am so offended, that is my favorite fish!!!

Sev's are such serious parents! She laid eggs today (which happens allll the time), and i am currently missing a fish. so i picked up the thing that her eggs were on, trying to look under it real quick for a dead body. and i didnt even touch it near where her eggs were. Then boom, in she came for the attack! right on my knuckle! No damage done though =)

Maybe the missing fish tried messing with her!!!!

Anyone else have a normally peaceful fish bite them?!?!?!

My Angels are always pecking at me when I go in to clean or prune. It doesn't really hurt, but it sure does surprise me sometimes.

parenting cichlids will always defend their nest :)

And piggy little Angels will always peck at whatever moves and or looks like food.

My Clownfish used to nibble at me when i used to hand feed them...occasionally, it would hurt...but fun all the same...

my male JD, who normally eats out of my hand, attacked for a similar reason. defending a nest on the other side of our 55G

my angels... I tried removing their eggs(way too much agression from the parents..), and the daddy grabbed a peice of my fresh cut :eek:
he ripped it.

even though this is not a nice fish, my jag would bite the crap out of me when i cleaned the tank to the point where i blead a little. man i loved that fish.

My bettas always come up for a nibble when my hand is in the tank, then when they realise I am not edible, they lose interest. You can almost hear them thinking "darn" as they swim away.

My snail tried to eat me. It didn't hurt it just felt weird.
