This is video of me getting bit by my piranha. YES i know im an idiot for doing this so plz dont criticize me about it. the fish was not harmed in anyway and is doing fine well, enjoy the video!!
hmmmmm not sure what the point of your post is if not looking for the typical response from a forum such as this... if there is a conversation around this vid you would like to start please fell free to let us know other wise you really are opening up for a lot of negative responses..
You shouldn't handle your fish unless you really need too. Stresses them out and can cause disease from you touching and wiping off the slime over there skin.
Actually, I could care less that you wanted to get bit by your fish, what bothers me is the danger that you put the fish in. Imagine not being able to breath, and as others have said, damaging the slime layer on the fish. Hopefully once was enough for you.
Next time you can't think of anything to do, might I suggest you try this?
No fish were hurt during the filming of this video, or any other innocent animals.
Yes, Inga, that would be appropriate--though with higher voltage.:twisted:
On the original piranha vid. Fish can carry TB and can pass it to humans, along with other diseases or health issues. Not particularly bright to do something like that. But I'm with the others that I'm more concerned over the fish's state.
I hope that you are right but the point is, you couldn't guarantee that going into your little game. It isn't fair to risk the life of an animal for your own silly boredom or... fun.
All these criticisms you fished out because of a silly bet? -_- If I were a smart bettor, I would have bet something less insane than get stitches because of an animal bite. Oh well...That's just me being sensitive to cuts and stitches. If the bet is pig out on a large plate of lasagna and a liter of coke, I'm game.:wink2:
I'm pretty sure that most of us here have already seen the National Graphic, Animal Planet, and all the other numerous shows that have filmed these fish during feeding. We really didn't need the lesson, but hey, thanks for trying.
How about the next time you think of removing your fish from the tank for the purposes of your amusement I have an idea! Try the environment in reverse, just so you can get a feel for what the fish is going through. Dunk your head in your tank and keep it there as long as it you took to film this video, LOL. :smash: It's not often I find the reason for using this funny little hammer dude, so thanks for providing me with one!!
Man, oh man, I have some funny ones (most which I won!) but I can't post it here!! If I did they would boot me as a moderator, maybe even ban me as a member, lol. I was a dare devil, back in the day. :lol:
