Raked by a pictus.

Are pictus catfish poisonous? I got pinched by one at the store today, and my GOD DOES IT BURN. It feels like a bad bee sting. Hurts. So. Much.
Currently doing the baking soda paste wrap on it. It's a tiny little nick, like a paper cut. But it burns like I set my thumb on fire.

I've read they aren't poisonous, but the wound will sting like heck -- as you're discovering: http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/pimelodus_albofasciatus.html

It felt like I'd stuck my thumb in acid. It was the suck.
Moral of the story, kids: NEVER pick up a pictus with anything but a cupped hand. Or a plastic cup, even better D:

Umm.... what was the pH of the tank? Maybe you did stick your hand in acid...:evil_lol:

Yea, I probably did. XD
