I had a 5" Convict pop me on the finger while I was hand feeding some frozen bloodworms, it drew a drop or 2 of blood, but the most shocking part was the impact that he hit my finger with. Packed a real punch

I was at sunshine pets yesterday and this cool German guy showed me his peacock mantis shrimp. Awesome. It would really hurt to be wacked by that thing. He was the only person I've ever met in person that even knew what the word "cavitation" meant, much less understand the complicated parts of it. He said that thing has crushed super thick clams like you wouldn't believe.

Elongatus a guy had scared me the most. What I've personally owned that tops the cake has to be my old dovii. I still have the scars from him, but I tell you what a had a little suvatti puffer I feared just much. I had the bright idea to hand feed and it was like having your finger split by razor sharp toe nail clippers

I totally fear my hairy puffer. So cute yet to watch it feed.... very scary

Here is my little monster mid yawn.

The little guy has zero fear.
So cool. I've been looking for one for awhile.

My 15" hoplias curupira was the worst fish I've had with regards to cleaning. He'd attack the siphon and actually put gouges into it. I shudder to think what that would do to a hand.

Beautiful fish, I'm keeping hands clear there!
