So I just sold my 7" weeksii to a fellow MFKer, i scooped the weeksii and took him out of the water and into the bucket. While in the net he jumped out onto the floor. I tried to pick him up with my hands and he slipped. Picked him up again and he slipped again, this time latching onto my middle finger and one of his dorsal spines jabbed another finger of mine, so i had about 3 cuts from him. What a shock!
I didnt expect this to come from a bichir, he most likely bit out of stress/scaredness, but boy do they have some teeth! Not huge teeth, but enough teeth to grip onto a hand! I feel more respect for all poly's now
It was bleeding a bit more, this is afterwards, when I put soap and cleaned it up.

My big Ropefish is the only one of my fish that comes up to the top when I put my fingers in the tank and lets me pet her. I tried picking her up out of the water and she bit me little pinky finger... It didn't bleed or anything but they can bite hard! 
I'm pretty sure my Delhezi is the only one of my Poly's that hasn't bit me yet...
