Mate I've been bitten by green terrors and oscars, in fact it was amusing watching them try and tear bits of my hand without much success...

.....all amusement suddenly vanishes once you realise your lungfish has got the better of you, they give you about half a second to pull away, then they apply the full crunching force once you do, hence the lug comes out of the tank ends up on the floor. The lungfish was fine as soon as he was back in the tank - and was taking food straight away - they are indestructible, unlike fingers!
 
I had my finger broken once by my 30" silver arrowana when i was positioning wood in the tank he must has mistaken my little finger for the prawns he loves and it broke it he had a real good rag arround on it.
Never by a lungfish yet i nearly bought a 26" west african lungfish the other day decided against it in the end but go for it.
 
that must or hurt your silver breaking your finger
 
Never been bitten,but seen the power of those jaws on a number of occasions, like this.
