Health & WellbeingI Have 4 red Blood parrot fish (2 Yellow parrot fish and 2 red parrot fish) in a tank , when I cleaning decoration put out from aquarium then parrot fish has attack my hand skin and try to caught them but I have no ijured from them so I want to know
Thanks for reaching out about your aquarium. Parrot fish do possess teeth-like apparatus on the upper and lower jaw, capable of chewing invertebrates and coral. Using tongs to reach in for plants and other "furniture". Adding a male flower horn could interrupt the dynamics of the group, but also they could get around well. Human bite wounds from fish can possibly lead to infections from the water column, so cleaning your hands with soap and water anytime you enter your hands into the tank is recommended.
When adding new fish, especially if concerned about aggression, providing plenty of hiding spots is important and monitoring the fish for aggression is mandatory. Be prepared to remove fish if aggression occurs.
Good luck.
