Stella Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I just got bitten by one of my mudfish.... and it DREW BLOOD! There are two (miniscule) punctures and the outline of teeth marks in an odd shape on the back of my hand! OK so they often nip, them and the kokopu, and both groups are now big enough that I can feel their teeth. But these little sods try the bite-and-twist method... Anyone else had a good bite from their fish? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've been bitten twice lately by the oscars I'm babysitting and while it hasn't drawn blood it certainly hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoll Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 My oscar's favourite game is to attempt to bite my hand when I was doing water changes.. he's really good at it too, always make his move when I was looking down to make sure the water was going into the bucket rather than the floor. He got me really good once and caused a fairly impresive cut across the the knuckle. Gavin.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 My BGK bit me yesterday, didn't hurt but gave me a fright. I have seen his mouth fully open too and have no doubt he could inflict a painful bite if he wanted to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I love getting visitors to put their fingers in too. Especially a buzz for people who have been studying these species but never really interacted with them when the fish had a choice! I am so going to get a video of the muddies biting me, they do it every time I put my whole hand in. There is still a rough area on my hand where it got me yesterday. I didn't think my hands were *that* soft and girly! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteS Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I wish my mudfish were big enough to bite me :-) Then again they could be as I have not seen them for three weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Pete, your muddies are still wriggling about, they love the leaf litter! Your black mudfish have smaller mouths than my brown mudfish. Sorry, they may not be able to bite you! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
