Pleco caused some bleeding.

In Richardson off of Coit Rd. My local fish guy scooped 2 Plecos with net and hand! After catching the fish he realized a paper cut on the Index finger. Non-chalant he told me about how the Plecos have barbs as protection against attackers and that he needed to wash the cut because of bacteria. Just thought this was amazing and wanted to share. Thanks for reading.

FWIW, I've been stuck by a pleco. Didn't cause any bleeding, but hurt a little. I learned real quick where not to grab them.
