Fish that attack their owners.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My nephew, 6yrs old, dangled his finger above my Oscars tank and took his eyes off him for two secs next thing you know my O had him to the knuckle and left a hefty diamond shaped bite mark on his finger. At dinner that night i noticed outta the corner of my eye my nephew checking his finger was still attached. I scared the crap out of him so bad he didn't cry he just stared at his finger...On another note i was at my LFS who have a large breeding pair of red devils, and out of the corner of my eye i caught the big male lifting a 10'' length of pvc pipe in his mouth and move it to the other end of his tank. so i couldnt imagine neing bitten by one of those lil MFKers
 
Lol. My Barra nearly attacked my finger, purely accidental though, they just are used to food being delivered by that hand.
 
i was bite by one of my 2 pygocentrus nattereri.. but just once.. it hurt a lot...
 
i've been bitten by oscars,midas and breeding convicts lol the midas was the worst cichlid bite i've had and my queen trigger was the worst fish bite period ! other than that my blue trigger bit but didn't draw blood and my black snakehead bit me when smaller but got my thumb nail instead lol still scratched it though

i have been bitten by a spawning Red Devil
 
My 11" Red Devil named FUEGO, has broken skin on my hand on three occasions, while doing water changes. I now wear arm length pond gloves when doing water changes in his solo 75 gallon tank.
