has anyone had any? ive had small puncture wounds from a flowerhorn bite . nothing serious but when i look at my giant snakehead's teeth makes me wonder if it could actually cut off a finger... pls share experiences not just from bites but anything fishkeeping related. oh and ive also had severe diarhea from swallowing a mouthful of gump and old water from a hose before i bought a siphon.
 
my giant gourami bit me, it's lips are more like of a birds beak. pretty hard.
 
nothing serious but many bloody bites from red devil... he seems to have acquired the taste for blood when he can get it...
 
Every now and then I get an electric shock when I put my hands into my shark tank.Nothing too serious but its enough to keep me out that tank.
 
diarrhea from swallowing dirty water sounds pretty bad, glad i bought a siphon.
i havent been hurt too bad, more worried about getting burned by my heater.
 
gotten mildly shocked by a malfunctioning submersible filter, but other than that, just miscellaneous bites from eels and other fish
 
I've gotten a few cuts from spazzing clown loaches in the past, but the worst I've had was my old tiger oscar. He decided he didn't like my finger around his little gravel pit while cleaning the tank so when he latched onto my finger he took my fingernail off. Still don't know how that was able to happen but it wasn't the most pleasant feeling in the world......
 
I might take the cake here with my lungfish bite. Damn thing busted my thumbnail and gave me a Hematoma nasty ...
 
I've been lucky with no battle scars. One time I had to use a net to keep 2 8-10inch Jaguars in breeding mode away from my hand when I was doing something inside the tank.
