I was wondering that how to clean tank and care for monsters like giant snakehead ,dovii , etc.
Won’t they bite hard and I think giant snakehead can actually take a chunk out of the hand

Use clean tools with long handles. Use pumps and big powerheads to do some of ur work.Hands if u have to during water changes with the water at lowest possible level. Otherwise leave alone. That’s my guess.

Get one of those thick heavy duty gloves that goes all the way up your whole arm to clean the inside tank. When I had my super red monkey he would go crazy and bite anything in the tank during waterchange.

Other than my rhombeus, I never had to worry about putting my hand inside the tank during maintenance or cleaning.

Even the aimara or the Goliath didn't bother to come close.
