some people.. tsk tsk.
 

Yeah.. this guy is your prime example of why it's so important to research your fish.

To top it off,the guy is a vet.You would think with a background in science,it would be second nature for him to do the research and learn about pros/cons of keeping lionfish.

Looks like he has a nice in-wall FOWLR set-up - Lesson learned ? :rolleyes:

Ya really think a Vet whould no better. Then to underestimate a venoums animal

I dub him official dumb@$$ of the day! :mrgreen:

You would have thought a vet would know to immerse his arm in hot water.Or that the ER would know to treat by hot water immersion. Probably a good thing he got rid of the fish, these beautiful creatures deserve intelligent owners.

lol-- kinda humorous in a way too... like duh-- its poisonous-- so ill stick my bare arm in the tank--

isn't that kinda like-- this dog bites...i think ill try to restrain it with my bare hand...


a lesson in thinking before you act moreso....


like the time my mouth went numb after holding the razor used to cut my palys between my teeth....

not smart idea...but looked good at the time!

ROFLMAO,Maybe we should start a new thread where ppl can add this type of article,and we can vote once a month on the DUMB A$$ AWARD WINNER :D

Another unfortunate story along the same lines: The father of a co-worker puchased a lion fish for his tank without doing his homework. He, of course, got stung and out of anger, flushed the lionfish killing it and plugging his toilet in the process.

What is wrong with people?!

LMAO what a dumbass.

We are very careful with our Lion...
