Has anyone been stuck when cleaning the tank? or anything like that when dealing with motoro's? and is it real serious? are they real agressive?
What would happen?

there scared if u ask me. whenever my syphon tube goes in, he freaks out and barry's himself. but i hear its just a sserious as being stuck with salt water rays. its a stinger. especially if its older with a big stinger.
It isn't fatal (assuming of course you don't get stuck in the heart) but it is extremely painful. It hasn't happened to me but I've read about it. It blisters up really bad and even after it heals you will experience pain in the area for a long time. The area of the sting may later become permanantly numb. Most emergency rooms around here don't know how to treat the sting because stingrays aren't native to this area. But, apparently soaking the sting in hot water is the best method for pain relief. Antiobiotics could possibly be needed to prevent infection. I think theres a sticky about this, but I could be wrong.
