my midas and my convicts have both left marks. midas made me bleed one time. If he bites me now I'm probably going to need stitches.

My Jag has not sealed the deal yet. But he's only about 4-5" right now. However, everytime my hand is in the tank, he does let his presence be known and will hover around my hand until I'm finished doing what ever I'm doing in the tank!

my 17 inch largemouth bass bites me anytime my hand is in the tank. IT doesn't hurt too much. I little blood one time though

Being an avid Bass fisherman...I have to ask...how big of a tank did you have to get to house a 17 in largemouth bass?

yes. my 6-7" convict cichlid attacked me while i was cleaning using a gravel vac. he grabbed hold of my knuckle then let go. kinda cool. when i told my buddy, he said "good fish".

I got tagged twice on Monday by a big Red Devil. I was putting all the gravel back that she moved. They are more powerful than they look.

my channel nibbled on my fingers last week which I thought was strange. The last fish I feed at night is my Pleco right before I shut the lights out and that Bad Butch My fat Sleeper will bite me thinking I food it's funny because he stikes fast with a soft mouth almost scares ya when it happens. my RTC always knows where the food ends and my fingers begin he is very gentle.
