niger trigger

[bucsfan34207]

Gets along great with all my other fish. When it comes time for me to clean the glass or rearrange a coral it goes after my hands. Doesn't hurt just surprising whenit happens. Usually end up up with 2 little needle type pricks. How do others deal with an agressive fish and maintain their aquariums?

Gloves. Safer for the tank as an added bonus.

I agree. With that fish, gloves are good. Depending on the size, shape, aquascape of the tank, sometimes you can use a tank divider, clean one side, remove it, chase the fish to the other side, put it back in. In one of our old tanks we had a gap between two rock islands, so it was easy to do.

Be warned that the aggression towards your hands may progress to aggression to the other fish.

My Niger gets a flick on the side after he bites.
