Just wondering anyone ever get bitten by a piranha?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my pictus catfish(well my old 6" one)
cleaning the tank and it came up and bite me no big deal
the a yellow tail snapper in the ocean while snorkling
came up and took my whole pincky in its mouth. drew alot of blood
 
Quido what were you doing, petting him?? haha.
I've never actually been bitten by my piranhas, but one time i was vacuuming the gravel, and one of my red bellies freaked out and ran into my hand.
When I lifted my hand out of the tank I had a cut with some blood drawn.
I think I would have known if he bit me, so I think it might have been a fin or something lol. Just a guess..
 
I had a Picasso Trigger that used to bite me all the time, I also had a Niger Trigger that would spit water at me if I didn't have any krill for him. My RBP's never have come at me. If reach in one end of the tank they will go to the other end.
 
when I had piranha I was netting him and he jumped out of the net I caught him and he got me on the joint in my middle finger then I dropped the fish into the bucket while screaming as it was a big peice of flesh inside my 10" rbp belly so I run around and end up getting staples at the ER, it was funny when the doctor asked what happened I was all like piranha then I got a stupid look

also when snorkling in cuba there where random fish that would come up and bite me

my uncle has a picture of when he caught a blue shark that bit him in the arm when they were getting the hook out, he was tuna fishing
 
I've been bitten my my sanchezi once. It wasn't too bad but it left a nice imprint of teeth and some scars. Some other not so bad aquarium fish bites I've gotten are a severum, jawfish, bgk, ropefish and a senegal bichir.

I got tagged by a baby barracuda once. I was trying to unhook it and it somehow slipped out from under my foot and must have bitten me when it was flopping around. Not fun.
