My mollys nip me but it tickles lol. They try to like eat me or something. Lol I find it amusing that they give me little kissies everytime I put my finger in the tank.

 

[steve1]

yeah mollies are fine lol they used too do it to me hand in my other tank all the time lol but a tiger barb can give a nasty nip lol

Try getting bit by an Oscar I've heard they are vicious, some one said that it hurt a lot and they were bleeding

 

[snake007]

I have a scar from a red zebra. My oscars bite me, but it doesnt hurt. I reckon when they get bigger its going to suck something awful.

 

[snake007]

Do red zebras have teeth?

 

[Dieses Madchen]

They have something cause they made me bleed!

You should try using gloves next time. I use the disposable gloves that you can buy on ebay or amazon with good results. It's not really safe to work in the tank without gloves anyway...

When a goldfish "bites" you it feels like s/he is sucking on you

I wash my hand with hot water prior to entering my tanks and have never had adverse effects from doing it that way. I think introducing a glove that has who knows what on it (powder, etc,) pose more of a threat than a clean hand.
