first: red belly piranha, about 4". felt like a papercut.

worst: red belly pacu, about 16" (at the time). i'd post photos, but they might be considered too graphic.

most recent: albino oscar, about 14". moreso startled me than anything because i felt him coming and couldn't see, and he's in the same tank as the aforementioned pacu who is about 20" now.

next: one of these days my school of exodon tetras is going to get me, i can just sense it....

At least it was your hand! Some people that have been in waste deep wernt so lucky! (River monsters lol)

Wow shellies!? Shellies are the new dovii! Haha

Christie's not the only one to be bitten by shellies! Had a breeding pair of Brevis that quite ferociously guarded their fav shells against my big ol' hand--really hilarious to see! ;-) As to the 1st bite--Red Breasted sunnie that I used to feed by hand. !st fish to seriously sting me w/ their venomous spines--MUCH worse than any bite--while algae-scrubbing @ a store, I had a battle for who was in control of a corner w/ a 3" Sun cat. The Sun cat won, hands down--YOW!!!
