Mythicbetta Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Maybe he was trying to love you , and he just got carried away A hug could be a bit difficult, given your size -you just wouldn't fit in the tank either that or he needs a bone of his own to chew on :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighter boy Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 lol i think he might....its the first time he has bitten me on purpose... last time he took a chunk out of my pinky when i was feeding him... he gets confused about which is food... my finger or his pellet....

Anasfire Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 My Oscar Logan will nip ur finger if you stick it in the tank. My son taught him to preform this 'trick' (as he calls it' by putting his finger in and when Logan came to investigate and nip it he gave him a pellet...so he associates nipping with food now. I'm trying to get him out of the habit by hand feeding him. He has to take the pellet from my fingers and if he nips any of the others (I hold it between my first and thumb) he doens't get the pellet lol. He got the idea pretty fast! Hope he didn't do too much damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighter boy Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 lol.. nah he didnt do too much... just a bit of a chomp... no blood hough but its mainly his jaw power. last time he took a chunk out of my pinky and made me bleed a fair bit.... my albino convics like to bite me as well when i do a water change.... i think its most likley due to them having fry in the tank. very protective....
