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

Wow, 46" Bet he was awesome!!!!! Sorry to hear about your son. OUCH!!!
 
46 inches huh, how big of an auarium was that 15,000 may be 20,000....

got some pics

or is it a typo
 
We had a 30" Silver at work that used to get me now and then, usually by accident, but I'm fairly sure at least one attack was pure maliciousness lol. It definitely doesn't feel good.
 
i don't know there adamstv but i've seen 2 40" breed in a 380 gallon imagine that they bred must of been pretty happy eh you know not being in a 40000 gallon and still breeding?
 
Anybody got pics of their injuries from aro's?
 
actually i did at the camden aquaruim forget exact name but there was a guy there that was feeding them and he gave me a giant worm to put in so i leaned overthe glass and went to hand feed it because he said i could and the aro darted at my finger and bit it hard!!!!!!!!!

almost lostmy finger was cut to the bone........i was bleeding all over the place
 
all the time....everytime i hand feed my dats, my jar will come to bit my hand... -_- good thing it's not big yet, only 14", i guess i won't be hand feeding anymore after it gets any bigger
