Keep your fingers out of the tank

[Mudfrog]

This is the mug shot of the wolf fish who's video I posted in the showoff forum. This guy is a little over 12" and yes he has a temper, you can see how he flares when I get the camera near him.

DOH! Your fish scares the crap outta me lol! And no, I would NEVER put my fingers in that tank! But I do like your tank, looks good!

 

[mfdrookie516]

so i guess my question is... Do you put your fingers in the tank? Cause i sure wouldnt lol. That thing looks like a mad pit bull with gills!

 

[Mudfrog]

Yes actually I do.. not often and I make sure he's on the other side of the tank. He's used to me for the most part, had him about 1.5 years now.

 

[WhiteDevil]

You make sure he has eaten before your hand goes in the tank too, right?

 

[thuffman03]

That is one scarry fish!

 

[Mudfrog]

They are great fish.. This one is wild caught from Ecuador where they are known as Trahira aka "Piranha Eater"..

 

[DragonFish71]

[ADJAFC]

Geez, I would never put my hand in that tank... just the video is scary!

 

[Prinzessin]

Now thats what I call a fish. Great vids.

Piranha eater, that tells you something. lol

 

[Mudfrog]

I need to make some new videos of him. He's been shy lately so he's not very outgoing at the moment.

What kind of pet store do you buy them at? I never seen one of them a day in my life. That is amazing.

So if you put your fingers in.. would he really bite them off?

He's wild caught from Ecuador.. some LFS carry them but none around here.

Off.. no.. but if I'm careless and he does bite me it would definitely require stitches.

 

[Mitchell0605]

OUCH.

 

[Zer0]

Now THAT sucks lol. Nice teeth hes got there..

 

[HeathB]

Daang. Wolf is an understatement for this little beastie.

Now, I'm the kind of idiot who would put my fingers in, just once, just to see how bad it was. I was the sort of kid who would put my fingers up to earwigs & crabs, lick 9 volt batteries, pee on electric fences, etc., because I had to know for sure. In a way, that tendency has not changed.

By the way, the electric fence thing; it's worse than you think.
