Dwarf Gourami Bites - Literally!

[Ann R]

My dwarf Gouramis do the water spitting, lip smacking thing when the cover
is open - demanding food. They now take food out of your hand and nibble
your fingers. I thought this was "cute" until today.

I was changing the water when one tried to get my attention by spitting at
me. When that didn't work he came over and nibbled my fingers. Next thing
I know I felt a pinch on my arm and then another. The little devil bit me
hard enough to leave 2 small red marks.

Who's training who?

The fish to you atm ;)

This is very interesting because my Paradise Fish male used to do this
before his passing, not that I am intimating that anything like that is
going to happen. He used to bite occassionally.

Perhaps yours are randy too? Any bubble nests areound?

Your gourami isn't named Angel (TV vampire) by
any chance? :)
