So much for hand feeding my vulture...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That's precisely why they are called vulture catfish and machete catfish. I've been biten and poked by many cats, aros, etc. Make sure you apply an anticeptic right away, like a hand sanitizer for a good half a minute at least.

Damn, try using feeding tongs.
Absolutely. I use large stainless steel twizzers. One has to be careful though not to injure the fishes. Many/most fish would do sudden lounges.

One might also try a very clean, heavy-duty dishwashing glove.
 
Who needs fingers? I say keep on hand feeding him and make sure to vid it next time ;)
