Fatal? 
Not quite, but I do know a wholesaler in England that got the end taken off his finger by a big ATF.

I dunno. getting bit by a 36" fish with teeth like a bullshark could possibly be a fatal bite. you know what if it bit you in the neck? or chompped into an artery in your arm. these fish are the fastest thing I've seen in a tank. They could easily get a few strikes in before you had time to react.
Unless your in podunk BFE you most likley wouldn't bleed to death. But you never know. if you went to a county hospital you would probably die from a papercut.

Nothing spectular. He was the main atraction.
Just a silver arrow an ornate bichir and a 2" convict. oh and pleco.
Obviously it wasen't one of the other fish that did it. I just don't know.. this buggs me. I was ok when I lost the first two as they were still new and 3"ers. But I've grown this guy out and to replace him with one of the same size will cost a few hundred. So for now I am out of the ATF club.
But positive side is I don't have to drop the coin on the 600 gal next year. I can skimp and get a 300 instead.
I think I will just get a snakehead. I just need to source one here.

I love ATF. You should be able to find an C. argus near you pretty easily.
