View Full Version : Bitten by an arowana
Have you guys ever encountered bitten by your arowana? A friend of mine last weekend show me his arm with some bruises and he mentioned that his arowana bite him when he was retrieving something that fall inside the tank.
The bite until bone that his arm was swollen pretty bad.
I told him maybe he have not fed the aro therefore angry :big_smile:

when I was rearing oscars and LH for 4 years, I kenna bitten by them quite a number of times. But most of the time they mistaken my fingers for food so it is not intentional or purposely wanted to bite me out of aggression.
But Aros bitting it's owner, this is something new for me. Got to be quite painful as the aro is about 14-15 inches... wah can imagine the bite on the arms....eeeeeeeeeeee

slap it when it is trying to be funny with youWhat is my view for this case is, maybe the aro thought that the owner wanted to catch her, so out of self-defense, the fellow bite his hand
:hmmm:
