how can u get bit by an oscar when there teeth are in there throat?

 

[RBP]

well it opened its mouth when i was cleaning the tank and grabed my finger

Oscars do have teeth, but they are very fine. I have been bitten by one and it left a nice bruise, though not really painful. The oscar was about a foot long.
Forgot to add, I got bit by Frank's shark oh2: He had this display of a sharks jaw and I made the mistake of accidently brushing up against it with my finger and it cut me. Not a bad cut, but stunned me and the look on Frank's face! sue-sue-sue

I used to have oscars and would frequently get bit while drinking. But that is the only times....Hmm I wander why that is? :O

I was cleaning my 200g with a siphon and I had my head looking somewhere else. Well actually I was talking to my mom. Then this goldfish bit (sucked) on my finger and I freaked out. I was like WTF was that. I pulled my hand out of the tank with my other hand wrapped around my finger. I was so freaked out I didn't want to look. But slowly I looked at realized it was just one of the feeders. I now pay more attention when cleaning.

I ahve been bitten by a 8" arrowana, my oscars, my old jaguar cichlid, And one time by my old 5inch red belly piranha i was fixing the air stone and i dropped it in the tank and my first reaction was to grab it i grabbed it and my piranha bit the side of my hand

never, and hope to keep it that way

 

[hydroshutter]

I've never been bitten by a fish i've kept in an aquarium. I hope I never do because my 10" rhom would be able to take out my pinky and possibly my ring finger.

If you read my previous post on this topic, tonights not the night to go poking around in the ole tankaroo.

 

[luva40]

:O oo:

I have heard that large rhoms can bite through your wrist in 2 or 3 bites ???

 

[fishman2]

That is true. Also, I have seen on another board where some people stated that p's under 4 inches cannot hurt you or bite through bone. Let me tell you this, at opefe, Frank showed me the bite on his finger where a piranha nearly removed a hefty chunk of flesh. This natt was only 2" long. So dont' buy into the bullshit that small p's can't hurt you.

 

[CHUD]

luckily I have never been bit by any of my piranha :rasp:
if I let my guard down, u never know. Just ask Clay.

miscellaneous fish that I have been bitten by and actually drew blood was a large female oscar (mine 15") with eggs, 2' snowflake eel, and 4" Tomato Clownfish.
