After a while I just learned that some fish attack. If I ever need to show somebody that my fish actually bite though it's always friends hand vs. amphilophus sagittae which they always draw blood LOL. If I get the chance though I always mess with my fish before the come near me. I also have bought the 36" python siphon tube to avoid getting attacked during waterchanges.
Where'd the flowerhorn come from? He looks really really similar to the $5 red dragon fry Julie was selling on www.flowerhornsfrombeyond.com I grew a few out that looked like yours.
Parties at your house must be a blast after you've torqued the fish off:ROFL:. I got him from some seller named ButtACrossbreed. So many of the FH's look just alike (to me), I've noticed that.

punch him back softly
I poked the hump on top of his head and he came out of the water after me lmao. I didn't hurt him but he sure must be proud of his head :eek:

That is not a bite!! The fish repays you with a lovely kiss tatoo, and that is unique.

LOL :ROFL:

What if you buy a divider for a somewhat smaller tank so you can slide it in and seperate you from the fish.

The only fish of mine that has drawn blood so far was my mexican dragon eel. He snuck around the rock work and got me while I was doing a water change. I keep an eye on him now and have had to push him away with the siphon tube on occasion. Stubborn fish. My Queen and French angels bite me sometimes but have never drawn blood.
