Aquarium related injuries

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Years ago my electric catfish gave me a nice jolt and more recently I ended up with a sore back from bringing home my 265...Thats about it for me.
 
Stung by a lionfish. Not cool at all. Thank god I'm not allergic. I was trying to save a damsel from being eaten by the lionfish and its dorsal fin got me in the thumb. Other than that nothing too serious. I did however get a nasty infection from doing tank maintenance while I had stitches in my hand.

I cut my hand moving a glass top one day but that's about it. The gar has tried to bite me a couple of times but he didn't get me

I just cut my hand trying to cut PVC for my overflow with a hand saw. Not sure if its bad but looks like I might need stitches

Not yet I will start a thread when he gets good and settled in and starts glass banging, so probably tomorrow...

I did get tagged by my 10" male jaguar but no damage... Brandon was suppose to be spotting me with my hands in the tank but he failed

You might want to get a better spotter for the Dovii tank.

Ouch!
 
The glass part of my plastic hood was only half glued on, so I could lift it and everything. Forgot about that once day, flipped it over and sliced my fingers. Only injury worth mentioning though.
