Please I.D. My attacker!!

[Convict2161]

I was just setting the air stone and making sure it was in the place where I had wanted it. Took a step back and then went back just to fix the placement.

Anyway I put my hand in and was attacked! I don't know if they have teeth and if they do how sharp they are BUT man!! It was like they ganged up on me!! This orange ones just kept pecking and pecking and pecking at me! I had to take my hand out!! Here are some pictures of the ones that assaulted me. I picked them out of a line up.

I may press charges for assault with the intent to do bodily harm in the 1st. I haven't called the police yet, I'm gonna see if I get an apology first.

There's 3 of these guys so under New York State law section 120.07 I think I can get them for a gang related assault.

True story btw....

My wife thought it was rather funny. She kept saying go ahead put your hand back in there.

That's insane!

 

[garfy]

That's utter madness.mine just keep out of the way when I move stuff around and I have 6" fish!!

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

Yellow labs & red zebras?

 

[garfy]

+1 red zebras and yellow labs

 

[garfy]

And yes they have teeth

 

[NyteGTI]

my labs are curious but don't try to nip my arm if im in the tank. now all of my kenyi act like little piranhas when my hands go in.

 

[garfy]

Do your kenyi get on with your labs?
I was thinking of getting some.

 

[Talvari]

Definitely look like labs to me! I couldn't imagine those afra's teeth going after my arm. My semi-aggressive fish are kinda wimps.

If I stick my hand in the tank, the first one to run is my gourami! My tiger barbs might venture a nip or two... The worst offender is my brown knife. But hes gentle and almost friendly about it... He'll bump into you, nibble on your skin, rub his body between you fingers and take food right from you hand!

 

[Convict2161]

I'm telling you it was crazy they homed in on my arm and started pecking away! They teamed up on me. I stuck my finger in there and this orange one did the same thing. The others could care less.

 

[garfy]

Ha ha your fish can sense the fear lol.Just imagine what they will be like when they get to full size and have matured fully

 

[Cichildlife]

Haha wonderful! They will take my finger off and have it for a snack!!
