  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My current oscar bites me all the time,harder than some adults Ive had.Just about any cichlid ive ever had has bitten me at some point
 
My 11"male Jag tries to bite me when ever I mess with their tank. He's got me once and my 10" Midas bumps me with his mouth but has never really tried to bite me...yet. I have some 6" clawed frogs that will try to taste my fingers when I'm cleaning their tank.

Loved the dovii story....

Wow I would have 300 bite marks....... didn't you learn after the first few :ROFL:
 
I keep an 9'' oscar in a 55 gal alone . I've tryed to feed him bye hand or teach him but he nailed me good a few time's I hold large pellets (almost the size of dimes) with my thumb and index finger's. he get's me half way bettwen the first and second knuckle on both finger's :swear: . it's weird to feel teeth scrape ur nail's..... luckly my 6'' managuense only slap's his tail at me this i can handle !!! lol the other three are still to small to be that bold.. :WHOA: :thumbsup:
 
my oscar bit me once. it was about 12" long. i was trying to get some dead feeders out of the tank(the oscars had finished playing with them) and the one just pounced on my thumb from across the tank bit the knuckle of my thumb scared the $h!*** out of me tore a good sized chunk of skin off my thumb needless to say i freaked jerked my hand out of the water blood went flying and i still have a nickel sized scar today. guess they weren't totally finished playing
