[mbell09]

My clowns and I were good friends to the point where if I put my hand in there she would rub on me and everything today I put my hand in and wham she tried to bite me do they get more aggressive as they get used to tank had them for about six months just wondering if I'm going to have a fish fry in a few lol J/K but am curious as to why the one is so angry the other one still likes me

what kind of clown is it?

I had a friend who had golden maroons and they would bite him and nearly draw blood. Needless to say, he sold them once he caught them.

Some clowns are more aggressive than others.

they're clarkii clowns

 

[azcummins]

clarkii can be more aggressive than others. I'd put them below maroons though.

hmmm makes you wonder though the one is still friendly the other is hostile

Hmm, as the female gets older maybe she sees your hand as some sort of competition and tries to fend you off. Just speculating of course.
