My big silver has bitten me unintentionally during handfeeding. Draws blood, but more of a shock then pain.

My 2' silver aro jumped about 6" above the tank to bite my hand that was sitting there as I was doing maintanence. My P bass bite anything that hits the surface of the water so I have to put my whole hand in quickly or I will get bit.

I've only ever been bitten by small fish and oscars. The oscars scared the crap out of me once when I wasn't paying attention and talking to a customer while I sprinkled pellets into their pond, I think I jumped a foot in the air. I've had a few near-misses with the pacu and snook, but amazingly the tiny blue diamond tetras are by far the most vicious. I can't reach over their tank without them leaping up at my fingers like the adventure-movie shoals of bloodthirsty piranhas.

I've been bitten by several of my fish. Mainly to me not paying attention while cleaning or feeding. Worst bite was from a 20" pacu!!! I was pulling out the fake plants and he wanted a bite-lol. Got me below my thumb on the palm of my hand. Didn't break the skin but bruised me pretty good(turned purple)...That's what I get for not paying attention!!!

When I had Oscars they used to pull on my fingers and I've been bitten by my sharks a few times.
