Gah! Calcifer the Biter!

Well I had assigned today to do interrogative tank cleaning. Started with Enigma and the loaches, filthy with algae. Discovered the elusive third loach that has hardly any markings compared to the other two lives in the moss ball! I took it out to give it a wash and squeeze and a little head popped out! :shock: So instantly transported back in and will not touch from now on lol. Clever bugger as that is where I have started to leave the food and no wonder the ball itself looks like it keeps getting looser.

Anyways that done and dusted went to Calcifers and the lamps. Either he was extremely hungry or mad at me because the next thing I know he is proper biting the palm of my hand! LOL He proceeded to bite and maim me till I had the job done with lots of scolding from me! I have fed him now even though he does not deserve it the little git. I will admit I did prod him gently at one point and told him NO! where he sulked at the other end and then regrouped for the second attempt.

Rude, Reno and Vax are all angels as always with Reno wrapping like a underwater kitten on my hand :Love:

So there you go water changes can be fraught with danger!

one of my females is like that and bits my hand when i put it in the tank but my male just hides at the back of the tank. :D

LOL I am used to Reno being a bit blind at times when putting food in but not a full frontal lol! But then he is my prima donna! She sounds a feisty female hon!

lol :D and yh my one is she jumped into a breeding trap and ate 12 1cm molly and playt fry a couple of days ago

Ouch!!! Oh dear! any fry survivors?

no she ate them all

AW Kizno sorry to hear that bad girl!

well the way my mollys breed ill have some more soon lol.

my angel who should i say is no angel believe me she is a killer!
always comes and bites me when im doing a water change,
just glad she hasnt got teeth!! :rofl:

Thank god I thought you were going to say he had bitten his beautiful tail LOL. Eros does the same thing to me when I clean him out

You wanna put your hand in a tank with over 100 juvies......that's the weirdest feeling, having that many nibble on your hands at once :lol!:

WOW! That must feel weird! LOL!

i would prefer to have a betta bit me i went fishing today and as i was unhooking a pike it jumped up and bit the side of my hand i got all toth markes down my hand now.

Ouch! :shock: Aw hope your hand is ok. Pike are one nasty fish!!!

i love pike though it was only a lil one about 1lb.

Are they the ones I am thinking of that when they get full grown they eat birds? Or am I going mad? Aw how big is a 1lb and did it hurt much?

HeHe that's funny about Calcifer! My little Maru was trying to do that the other day when I was vacuuming the sand!

yh they can get massive the biggest is over 50lb and like 4 foot long my biggest is 19lb. it was about 30cm long and a lil but not as a 7lb last year im so clumsy.

:shock: gah! LOL not my kinda fish

Aw I love that name Maru! I guess it is kinda cute, it was just shocking for me as he hadn't done it before. Reno yes! Calcifer no! LOL

look at this one its not the record but its quite big
