Weird Question, but any freshwater fish that can bite fingers off?

[tlindsey]

the black pirahna, given the chance, would probably cleanly snip your fingers right off!!

Definitely.

Aba knife and Aethiopicus lung are my wagers. They both have a gnarly set of shears. Not sure if theyd get through the bone but i think they might at 4’+ which they both attain.

Pacu have very strong jaws and are able to crack brazil nuts. Old video from 13 years ago. You can hear the bite sounds as the pacu finish off a whole carrot I threw in the tank.

Can't really see my pacus' teeth. One of my pacu had an encounter with a tank lid left ajar, and managed to slice off his lower lip. Pretty impressive incisors - not pointy like pirranha teeth - more like human teeth. Pacu also have two rows of upper incisors. BTW, my pacu's lower lip did regenerate.





Very glad the lower lip regenerated, because he has such a beautiful grin. BTW, my pacu are both females, but I identified them as males 19 1/2 years ago, so they will forever be my boys. After all these years calling them "Leonardo" and "Adonis", to now call them "Leah" and Donna" just doesn't work for me.

I once read something about how african lungfish are capable of and known to snag fingers from time to time.
