Is it normal for a baby RES to act like he's bitting you when you put finger or face up to tank? Mine is acting like that and I'm worndering if it's normal. Looks sort of mad. Then he/she will just bite at the water from time to time.

I used too let mine bite my finger...it doesn't hurt...until they get bigger that is!! But look at the brite side...at least they aren't scared of you and running from you!!
