I am not a food source

I used to think the GF (Goldfish) were pretty laid back about their weekly
cleaning. But they've got nothing on the Tiger Barbs. I can usually count on
being nibbled whenever I put my arm into the tank. They were even swimming
into the net after the Algae I was trying to scoop out. Silly Buggers.

It looks like I'll have to invest in a sock for the gravel siphon. :)

I try to do the maintenance after feed-time. Doesn't stop the nibbling but
does cut it down :-)

Yeah, but I think the little boogers like the taste of our skin, or are just being freindly!

LOL. Even the pond fish were nibbling tonight. They are so used to me
pulling the DAMN Algae out that they were swarming around my hand letting me
touch them. I know, it's not great for their slime coat.
