Aggressive Clowns

Hey everyone

This is not a serious problem, just mostly an annoying one. My two clarki clowns are crazy aggressive. But not towards many of the other fish, just towards me, especially the female. They are like little piranhas and they have drawn blood several times.
I was just wondering if anyone else has these problems.

P.S. My camera isnt that good and it kinda makes the female (who is named Deborah) look like shee has cloudy eye, but she doesn't

A friend of our has the same issue with his Clarkis. Stick your hand in the tank, and they are all over it!

That is how they behave and you certainly are not going to change it.

I feel so lucky, I have 7 perculas and they are all sweet as can be. They explore the tank by day and return to their BTA at night. I am glad I decided on this species of clowns. I never knew the other species were so territorial and nasty. Love those perculas.
