Oh man am I going to be bruised tomorrow! I was stealing some java fern from my 45 gallon hex tank for my new 5. I had both arms in the water and a pair of scissors so I could make sure to get the ribosome. I was paying a lot of attention to what I was feeling, and positioning the scissors in the right place. I wasn't, however, watching my angel fish.
Now, Mikey, my angel fish, will circle around a foreign object and then, after he's don't sizing it up, he'll nip at it. While I was finding a place to cut, Mikey was deciding if he should pick a fight with an arm. Right after i cut the plant, he attacked.
I was so surprised by the nip, that I jumped, pulling my arm with me, and smacking the inside full force against the top of the lid. It's an acrylic tank, so it didn't give at all. I have a red spot about an inch long and 1/2 an inch wide filled with broken blood vessels. Whats really bad, is after that little episode, in a total "duh" moment, I remembered I have extention shears, so I didn't even need my arm in my tank.
