Fish that attack their owners.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my paratilapia will bite, I don't let them now that they are fully grown, but it was a good show for my houseguests to let them strike on my fingers.
 
I had/have a severum that would bite my hand when i was cleaning the tank. Didnt hurt but was definetly startling the first few times it happened!
 
my peacock bass will nail my hand anytime it goes in the water.
 
had a pictus cat that would attack me everytime i worked on that tank
 
at my local pet store ( Just Fish) , they have a large barrel cut in half and they have a 12 to 14 in grouper in it with no lid, they have a sign that says "HI My name iS Robert and i Bite PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH WATER!!!!" well today a guy and his son im guessing were in there i watched as the father was teasing the fish swirling his finger, well needless to say the father was fine but he started to walk away the i saw the kid pull his hand up and the fish went for it, i was getting ready to say somthing but it bit him!!! dum father and kid
 
I just got attacked by a tiny Convict today. It's a male maybe 2" at the most and I had to put him and a 3" Female in the sump because they were getting beat up. I had my hand in one chamber swapping a heater and noticed he was attacking at me through the divider in the other chamber. So I stuck the tip of my finger through on of the holes in the divider and he bit with everything he had. It kind of freaked me out because as I am putting my finger through I am thinking, NO WAY he is gonna bite me... Then CHOMP, he bit and shook as hard as he could. It obviously didn't hurt at all but I got a good laugh out of it.
 
I got chomped by a sheephead in my friends aquarium, that was painful. They have gnarly crushing teeth. And my jag left a 2" ring of blood on my arm everytime I cleaned the tank. I tried a divider but he broke through it and got me. He was a beast. A little over a foot.

Other than that a few mistaken identity feedings with the oscar, pbass, largemouth, and africans.
 
You mean something like this amarillo?...
