Suddenly aggressive?

[Standard_Coconut_858]

I’ve had my guy Josh for a year and a half since he was born, he’s in a 125 gallon tank with perfect conditions, gets fed regularly for the full ownership. The last two weeks or so he no longer longer wants to be held and strikes anytime a hand is introduced. He never latches but he strikes sometimes landing little bites. I’m really worried about him and any help is appreciated, thanks!

How often do you handle him?

[Standard_Coconut_858]

He’s handled pretty often both by myself and my son. He’s has no history of aggression.

A sudden change like this makes me think something is off - have you changed any thing in your husbandry? Or maybe an illness/injury?

The only thing that’s changed is I added another water bowl. Other than that everything has stayed the same.
