byte by piranha..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was cleaning a tank about fifteen years ago when I got hit by one of my RBP. You got very lucky he didn't take a chunk. Mine took a big chunk. Disinfect it right away and so you can see what happens when they take a chunk I'll post a pic of my scar. It was hard to focus on so I circled it.
Let me just say it hurt and bled a lot. :irked:

You know you could have just circled it in paint and not on your skin lol :D

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:


I believe that there is a lot of wisdom in this lesson....
 
I never got bitten. My current shoal of 5 is only 1.5 to 2 inches in length but I had some about 7inches before. I'd be sure to feed them really good before cleaning the tank and would scare them to one side while I work on the other. How do everybody else avoid getting bit?
 
You shouldn't try to pet piranhas they aren't puppies. Not very smart imo.
