Well It Was Really Stupid Of Me......

[star4]

Just finished a wc on Chops's tank when I knocked the little pot I defrost brine shrimp etc in, into the water. Trouble is I have short arms and a deep tank, I could see it on the bottom from the side but not as well from the top (its a clear pot) so I lent right over the tank peering down looking for the pot. I noticed the dark looming shadow of Chops appearing under me, I thought nothing of it because my hands were no where near the surface, so I just said "hiya Chops", he stopped, eyes rolled towards me and looked me straight in the eye, then he lunged out of the water and hit me smack in the mouth. Suprisingly it didnt hurt and he didnt actually bite, just scared me half to death. Fishy kisses

1 of my best fishkeeping buys ever. having a 2 foot deep tank these are a godsend for reaching the bottom , even at the very back .
