Get scratches from Flowerhonrs, Oscars and Aros on a regular basis..

havent got bit yet!!! will try hand feeding the snakehead soon... :)
Lol. been nip by small pirhana but once they got around 3" I would chase them to oneside and stick in a divider if I had to stick hands in tank. Used to have a bunch of tiny bluegill 1 1/2-2" that would grab hold of my arm hairs and yank, felt wierd but doesn't count.
 
I have been bit by 18" Dovii, 22" African Lungfish and countless other fish but the two mentioned were the only ones that really hurt. I still have small scar on forearm where lungfish bit me. Got paid $25 for it though.
 
The only time I've been bitten by one of my fish it did more damage to it than me!! I was hand-feeding my 13" fire eel (the only way it would ever get food) and it mistook my finger for the cube of bloodworms! My first reaction was to pull my hand away quickly, unfortunately the eel was still attached and came flying out of the tank which was about at head height. It spend a few seconds squirming around on the carpet while I found a towel to pick it up with (lucky I remembered theyre called 'spiney eels' for a reason), but didnt seem even slightly phazed when returned to the tank where it continued to eat out of my hand!
