Never use chopsticks to feed

[aeri]

I almost wet my pants. Well, underwear, because I'm not wearing pants.

I went to go feed my jardini it's regular dose of bloodworms and pellets. It was extra excited because I treated him to some really nice (and expensive) tiger shrimp the night before. So, my usual routine is to use chopsticks to take out cubes of bloodworms to place in the tank...but this time, as soon as I opened the lid and my chopsticks hovered over the opening, the jardini suddenly swam full speed from the other side of the tank and jumped 6 inches out of the tank and grabbed one of my chopsticks.

It flipped back into the water and it was an absolutely horrific sight . The chopstick was half into the jardini's mouth and the other half sticking out his left gills. I thought he pierced his head or jaw. It sped around hitting the tank walls and I quickly grabbed a huge net and netted him and tried to take the chopstick out, but it thrashed around hard enough that it came out itself..........

That's horrible.

Wow! Sorry to hear that! Is he OK now? Note.....chopsticks are only to be used with Asian fish, not South American!!

You should unthaw the bloodworms before you feed them. And just for the hell of it, I would imagine that the forum does not care what you were wearing, or weren't wearing, when you had a traumatic fishkeeping event.

Poor thing! That sounds like a forward in the making, up there with the "my boxer got his tongue stuck in the paper shredder" e-mail.
