Whose been bitten by their fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My knight goby has gotten me a few times. Doesn't hurt but he manages to get the entire tip of my finger in his mouth and then he won't let go. I have to shake him off. It's usually when I'm spot feeding the tank he's in my fingers get to close to the surface.

Not looking forward to when my juvenile fahaka gets big enough to do some damage when I'm tank cleaning lol
 
my convicts have on several occasions given me a little nip once from thinking it was food (finger was just breaking the surface of the water) and 2 more times from when they had babies and i had to move something in the tank
 
I'm planning on letting the yarrelli bite me when he gets about 8-10 inches. Probably not that bright, but I wanna see what he has. :ROFL:
 
My Red Dragon FH has attacted me vicously before, but only because I tried to hand feed live food which he rarely gets...and yeah my finger looked like a worm I guess haha, I was bleeding pretty bad...

my P.Bass scares the S*** outa me when im not expecting it. No blood, they stalk me from the other side of the tank and nail my hand if its at the surface

My P.Bass scare the heck out of me too. When they strike the food you can hear the smacking of their jaws from across the house (100'). I hope they don't take my pinkie one of these days!

As for bites my mex. dragon eel bit me twice and drew blood. My bichir and aro have also bit me but drew no blood (startled me though).
 
I've been hit by all kinds of fish and herps in the past but the guy that always keeps me watching these days is my Asian Red Tail Cat. At well over 2 feet he packs a mean bite and it goes well with his nasty disposition, I swear he is the meanest fish I have ever owned.
 
I got bit by tons of fish when I worked at an LFS, but the one that sitcks out was when I was pulling a RBP out of a tank for customer and when I was transferring it from the net to a container it bit me through the net, and right inbetween two of my fingers. You know right in that little web part? Yeah, did not feel good, a clean chunk just disappeared.
