Sledge is what , a year with you now? Decades ago my "Little Joe" took over 2 years to warm up to me ! Me I like my chair 6" away from the stock tank , having my hand at times in the water. I let Piggley just play with my fingers , rub against them trying to get my attention. Yes I do keep an eye open if any aggression but I'm lucky none! He does very well entertaining himself with my fingers. Maybe keep your hand above the water line just so Sledge always see's it and becomes more aware to it. Think he has some cat in him? Want attention but when had enough , Had Enough and bites!
Since you made him that great home , very nice , may get a little territorial with your fingers? Play time good with him but then my tank , my tank play time over my tank ! Also may need more time , accidental , what's his expression when he bites , his posture?
