Hey guys. I thought this was a good question! Can people share their stories of bites from aquarium fish? What is the worst aquarium fish bite? Are people allowed to post pictures of their bite?
BITES!

Never really gotten bitten besides once I was moving some decor in my old FH tank and he nipped me. I don’t have a pic as it wasn’t to serious
Just been nipped by the severum and blood parrot a few times. Almost pinched by a crayfish. A pleco tried to get me but it really just tickled, never used her teeth.
I used to egg on my piranha and bother my leporinus when cleaning the tank (don’t try this at home kids) just to see what they’d do. Playing dead or not caring seemed to be the way out, lucky for me.

I was bitten numerous times during weekly WC's by a huge unfaded Red Texas Cichlid. Once he outgrew his 65 gal. tank, I traded him. It wasn't a difficult decision to make. Lol. He had a really big set of teeth.
Bit by a Redbelly Piranha in a net but was my fault. Also bit by a Female Convict didn't know she had wriggler's hidden in a seashell lol. Both events happened when I was a teenager.
Ouch
I’ve seen my female con’s teeth. I do not want that to bite me.
How big was the piranha?
Tbh don't remember the size but over 4 inches in length.
Recently, the Del I just bought nipped me when I was putting in plants next to his cave area. Didn’t hurt, just startled me.
I have also been bit by plenty of rockfish on fishing boats. Plus Bass, and a small Dog Shark
I've been bitten on the tip of my finger by a Brazilian puffer, that actually kinda hurt. Even though he had a hard little beak his mouth was about 2mm across, it didn't even leave a mark.
And bitten by one of my severums. That just looked like a little round scrape, didn't particularly hurt.
Sooo, not much.
