Fish Bites Man

OK, I'm pretty sure that a bite from a rabbitfish would not send somebody to the hospital. A good whack with the spines will but not a bite!

I was once bit by a picasso trigger right on my index finger. Of course I jumped and yanked my finger out of the water and began to shake it violently. In true cartoon fashion the trigger held on and was finally shaken off and went flying across the room, slamming into a wall. He fell behind a dresser.

I picked him up, tanked him, and he was fine. Damn that really hurt though.

 

Never a videocamera around when you need one

 

I've had quit several fish bite me in the past but never anything bad. No bleeding ever... But my mom's damn parrot, thats a whole different story. That sucked... I hate that damn bird.

The spines on the Foxface are venomous-not the bite. Maybe it got infected but a bite, i'm sure, isn't cause for a trip to the hospital...I wouldn't think!

 

Now you know why I'm sticking to birds no bigger than George. Them big beaks scare the dickens outta me!

 

Exactly my point! Seems like an overzealous news reporter forget to check facts before printing that story. Something that never happens with today's news media :

Surgeonfish have bone ridges anyhow...not teeth. I doubt the fish could have done much more than scrape a bit of skin had it even tried to bite!

 

LMAO i could imagine you guys running after the trigger and putting him back in the tank! Thats a tuff fish!!
