Startled the crap out of me!

He's (she?) in a divided tank and I was cleaning the other side of the tank with my arm about 3 inches above his side of the tank when all of a sudden, he leaps out and latches onto my arm (soft side of forearm). It startled me so badly that I jerked my arm up and he went flying up about 12 inches above the tank and SPLASHED water all over me and the floor. He left a circular mark (I guess he's got teeth I can't see all around his mouth)
with 4 very noticeable fang marks.

Note to self: Don't hover arm above FH.

Just thought I'd share..

Btw, here's the most recent pic of my FH. (just took it)
He's really dark when chasing/stalking fry which I just dropped in.
I think he looks really cool this way.
He's about a 8 months old and is 6" h2t.


Sorry about the dirty tank and messy wires!
