WOOO THAT MUST HAVE HERT
 
OUCH! Happened to me once, and that was around 3 years ago. I was cleaning the tank and one got me, he was around 4.5"-5" and took off a good chunk of flesh. It doesn't really hurt at first but the pain will eventually come and bleeding doesn't stop.
 
so maybe the lesson we should take away from this is that we shouldn't scare piranhas and then try and grab them with our bare hands?

:drool:
 
lol my rbps dont bite me but they eat the plants i put in their tank. i just redid it all live and like half of the plants have chunks missing
 
that looks painful.

Its bite not byte, by the way.
