my lawnmower blenny runs up and bites me when i put my hand in the tank. anybody's fish bites when hands are in the tank? also am i the only one who has mean lawnmower blenny? he is so cute though.
 
My lawnmower does the same thing! That's where I got my RC name- it stomps back and forth like a sumo wrestler when I come too close, but really likes to hide and then dartout and chomp my hand.
You're right though. Very cute!
 
My female ocellaris attacks me and always seems to bite me right on the tender skin between my fingers.

I wear a thin scuba glove now..
 
My clown fish bits me when i have my hand in the tank. sometimes is scares the @#%$ out of me! he will bite and shake like he is trying to pull a chunk of meat out or me.
 
My cleaner shimp jump right onto my hands and start picking away until I make a sudden move or shake them off.I think its funny.
 
My female ocellaris bites me in between my fingers as well and definitely draws blood whenever she can. I refuse to stick my hands in the tank because of her. I use aqua tongs instead! When I need to do fine work I take her out and put her in a bucket. That's her time-out spot. The male ocellaris is fine though and he never has to go into time-out.

my female ocellaris bites me between my fingers too!! when i had a lawnmower blenny he did like to hide out and launch attacks.
 
do lawnmower blennies attack other fish? i have 2 young clowns about an inch would they be killed by a lawnmower or chased?
 
My ex gf called my former lawnmower a doggyfish. Sometimes it'll let me pet it, sometimes it'll play with me, and yes, on one or 2 occassions, it has bitten me...or tried cleaning the algae on my hand or something. Either way, yes, very amusing. The only fish of mine that hurt was a Sargent Damsel, mean fish, it would push off the corals I place in the tank, hover over that spot and look at me with the expression of "now wut b!tch". I'm glad he passed imitating Nemo thru a filter.
 
Man I have an awesome lawnmower and my percs never bite me. My cleaner does the hang on for dear life though. I have no idea why, I think he thinks my hand is a ride at the local amusement park. Anyway, sorry to hear so many people have fish with anger issues, but then again that is what makes our tanks different from each other......
 
My lawnmower and my bi color would bite sometimes especially if I moved my hand too close to one of their "home rock" and all my clowns have always either bit or head butted my hand if I move it towards their anemone
