Devil Tank Cleaning Question

[Stevenm1]

Hey guys, just picked up a Red Devil he's prob about 6-7inches. First time owning a fish with this much aggression, didn't really think about it before but what do you guys do when cleaning the tank. There's no way he's going to let me put my hand in there, any tricks or should I buy a long syphon tube? Not trying to be a baby but having him for the last couple days I realize my hand will be a bloody mess if I go at it the normal way. Hes in a 120g by himself and already got rid of all decor. ha ha Thanks guys

A long siphon tube would be the way to go

I know some people on here buy plastic eggcrate cut it and use it to divide the tank by keeping the fish on the oppisite side of the tank while you clean.

Yeah that's a good idea too will look into it. Thanks

He's a Beast and still has a lot of growing to do!

Jab him in the face once with a net and he will back off. Just let him know not to mess with you and he will learn
