Ok so i was doing my normal weekly water change and vac in my cichlid tank. there are no monsters, just a 5" ebjd, 4" texas, 4" firemouth, and a 3" jd as well as a school of five 2" tinfoil barbs. none of my fish have really ever showed any interest in my hand during cleaning, usually just stay out of my way, but not today. of all of the fish in my tank one of the little tinfoil barbs tried to take a bite out of me lol i know they are pretty aggressive eaters but definately didn't see that coming lol and yes needless to say i pulled my hand out so fast i almost knocked my top onto the floor, then i laughed when i seen which fish it was. just thought i would share the fun i had during cleaning today
Didn't expect to be bitten today lol

Yup.....Nothing in there to be scared of even if you do get bit.
My JD tries to bit me every time. I just shoo him away. They can't really do any damage to a human.

ya i felt stupid after jumping from it especially since it was just the little tinfoil lol i have been head butted by my wife's blood parrot more times than i can count but that thing couldn't bite me if it tried so i just shoo it away. honestly i thought it was my ebjd, that one i don't want to get bitten by he has 5 teeth that are very easy to see lol don't think he would do much damage to me, but don't want to find out either
When I had molly fish, they used to peck at me when I did water changes lol And when I had my big goldfish I could stick my pinkie in the water and they'd suck on it. Weird feeling... lol And once my largemouth bass attacked the syphon during a water change and also attacked my net. Feisty little thing X)
