I've been stuck by a few loaches too, but they don't sting like catfish. Just bleed.
When I was a kid, i didn't believe in shoes, and we had a tank (pond) outside.. so when we didn't get rain for a while the catfish would burrow into the mud and just sit there (don't know what it's called) well when exploring around the tank barefoot, I would always step on the babies.. and get poked pretty bad.. the wound would always get infected and full of puss... I never went to the doctor for it, my parents were old school.. 
Good o'l days..
Glad you went though! rule of thumb..anytime your meat is hanging out.. go to the docta!!

That's why I'm always careful when I have to move or handle my Raphaels. I didn't get cut, but I caught all three of them with my hands at Petsmart after the girl almost killed another one when trying to catch it with a net.
i have to wait till next monday to have the stitches removed...looks like its gonna be a cool looking scar! now i just have to come up with a better story about what happened when people see it lol
didnt get xrays-by looking at the rtc bone-it appears as though everything is still in tact 100% i'm on antibiotics and a prebiotic for 1 week just incase-

You can tell people that it was a near fight to the death. That the RTC pulled you under and repeatedly thrashed you with it's tail and spines. You were forced to bite the gills of the red-tailed beast to force it to release you! You should also wear an eye patch, smoke a cigar, dim the lights, and have a distant stare in your eye as you tell the thick tale. Shedding a tear and quickly wiping it away will really add more drama. The price tag on your RTC will rise dramatically too. Sell your story to Animal Planet and I'll watch it. I'll split the proceeds 50/50 with you as your scandalous agent. Deal?
