My Red Devil Just Attacked My Hand Lol

that's now both of you, brilliant...my male jaguar cichlid used to do that, would attack anything that went in his domain, including the tube for syphoning,that tube still bares the scares today

My red devil, at ~5-6" just did the same thing to me about 3 weeks ago. I have him all by himself in a 55 gallon though. He came at me while i was re planting some fake plants that he dug up. He has never done anything aggressive towards me before. Would come over to my hand and swim right by etc. This time though, he bolted across the tank and bit me on my first knuckle. It didnt hurt but you could tell it was a warning. I swatted my hand towards him gently to let him know im the boss, but he didnt see it that way and came back at me unsuccesfully 2 more times. i was watching now so he didnt get me. was funny more than anything i love him even more now i think lol
