Anyone ever been bitten by an aro?

[frozen-fire]

Sorry if this has been asked before...

I was feeding a largish silver aro at work (around 2' plus) and as i was dumping in Hikari Food Sticks, the aro turned around and grabbed my hand. It hurt Bled in three places where teeth punctured through the skin and had several papercut like slices too.

I've been bitten several times by asians and jars...but this silver bite i will remember haha.

I had a similar experience hand feeding my old silver of the same size. Had about 7 "paper cut" style cuts running down my index and thumb

When I had my large SIlver (46") my then 8 yr old son stuck his finger in the heater hole on the top of my acrylic tank. The Aro hammered him 18 stitches. Both inner and outer. It did quite the number on him

MY silver would bite my fingers, never drew blood. Mine was only about 12-13" when it would nibble me.
