I have had piranha big and small. Never had a bite while doing maintenance. When I was a teenager I worked for an LFS that had a 180 gallon tank with 13 red-breasted piranha each between 10-16 inches in diameter. When we made the stupid error of feeding the tank a rabbit one night it was up to me to remove all of the fur. It was 2 hours of me up to my armpits removing the mess while my coworkers made "Jaws" movie theme sounds and laughing their heads off. The Piranha never came near me.

It's not really the sharpness of the teeth or the bite , but the speed and intensity that they hit you when they bite , that makes you jump every time !!

No kidding and it is always at the backside of the arm. I have dropped many things because my damsel has nailed me.

Hey, I've got a 7" hippo tang that attacks my tongs. He has never gone after me but he dosen't like those tongs. He also dosen't like new frags, everytime I put new frags in the tank he picks them up and swims back and forth across the tank at mach 10. He usually drops them in the front of the tank but I have lost 1 so far. I guess I have to decide where I want the frags and glue them down. I used to trial and error it for a day, I can't give the tang the choice, he has terrible taste

I have a cinnimon clown and anemone and it does the same thing, attacks my hand as soon as I put it in the tank.

Mine are always on the offensive as well, My hand can go anywhere in the tank but if its close to the clownfish she charges and will bite, only the female though.
