Default love hate relationship

Ok, I know everyone has one, that one fish or even two, that when you bought them, they were so cool and nice, but over the years, they turned on you, everytime you put your hand in your tank to clean the glass you get bite, or that one fish that will not leave your corals alone.
post some pics of your menace, and what h they do to drive you crazy.

this bad boy bites me everytime

no pic but my crosshatch trigger gets too excited whenever I go to feed pellets in the tank and always ends up biting my finger.

Default Nemo from Hell



My clown is nasty as hell when I put my hand in the tank, biting to no end. I'm sorta "hoping" he will bite a one of my frags covered in superglue as I place it in the tank and thus gluing that nasty mouth shut forever. Alas he knows my flesh from everything else I put in the tank and bites down on me only.

both my male and female crosshatch also did this. I was never excited about the opportunity of introducing all the bacteria in their mouths into my bloodstream..............as they drew blood when they bit.

This would be my hate/hate relationship. Attacks and draws blood on a frequent basis. No photoshop necessary she looks mean already


and this is my love/hate relationship. She thinks everything I put in the tank is edible

So far all my fish are perfect little angels. My clown is captive bred and stays at the surface waiting for food, and has no fear of humans, only other fish I have is a blenny and he stays in the rock work most of the time.

Guess I've been lucky, mine bites and hangs on for a bit, but has not drawn blood yet (it is still small tough, around 4 inches or so now).

Your Regal is beautiful, it was my first angel years ago, ate pellets and all and then one day just died, the lfs figured it was caught with cyanide. Seeing yours makes me want another, but survival rate is so low and after you mentioned the sps munching I knew better (my Scribbled does a little nibbling already).
