Aimara bite

[Swallowed]

Wow thats so ace, cant wait to get one. Of all the fish ive kept ive never heard of anything so crazy aggresive. Sorry to hear about your fingers, but glad to hear how aggresive the aimara are.

You should stop trying to feed him your hand, i mean by hand

A smile of sweet satisfaction.No hint of remorse...

No,...But a fellow member suggested eating fish and chips,in front of its aquarium.....To be honest,I dont have any plans of grilling it or frying it with pure virgin olive oil coated with sea salt...
I just have a newfound respect and fear for these Goliath wolffish...

It is CURRENTLY on a diet of silversides,prawns,and sole....(those 4"-7" live feeders sure do get pricey.BTW,they are quarantined for 2 weeks)...

Okay.....the following is a feeding video of the 17"-17.5" hoplias aimara in its holding tank back when I first purchased it in October,2009.It is now @ 19"-20",housed in a 120g with plans to upgrade to a 325g by summer.Enjoy the video:

As a matter of fact,I did,and for posterity's sake,the treating emergency room physician remarked,"It's better to err on the side of caution whenever one has any puncture in the skin due to bites,hence,to avoid the risk of infection from lacerations,it's better to stitch it up and put you on a mild antibiotic regimen".
Thanks syndicate for your concern.I surmise that you,yourself,are a M.D.....like Patch Adams.

Im guessing you dont have much experience with getting bit by monsterfish and the reprecusions of not treating a fish bite properly. Its ok i had small community fish once too. Angels and gold fish just dont have the same bite
