Anyone ever bit by a venomous Blenny?

[skinz78]

Especially a Canary Blennie, it's meaner than my Clownfish.... Just bit me, and left a red mark... I'm wondering what to expect?

You'll start growing scales and gills and get cravings for mysis and nori.

 

[skinz78]

LOL I already have that.

 

[ahtatt]

I never knew there were blennys that were venomous!
I did some reading, and I've found a post about it on rc.
SDguy said, "Just slightly worse than a bee sting, more physical damage though, IME..."

THAT IS CRAZY!

Oh man.. You better start writing your will man. U are gonna slowly swell up and blow up in the next 6 hours.

It's all your fault, I got it from you... You trained it to hate me.:doh:

 

[NC2WA]

are you allergic to bee stings?

if so, then watch it carefully.

if not, I would still get the Benadryl ready.

 

[Katesreef]

I would take 2 benadryl just in case. Benadryl won't hurt you just make you sleepy.

 

[skinz78]

Nah, I'm not feeling anything really. I'm not allergic to bee stings ether. I'll take some Benadryl anyhow.

I'm not sure if their venom is anything like lionfish or foxface venom, but if it is then you want to run your finger under hot water (as hot as you can stand it) for 20 minutes. This will break down the venom.

You must pee on the affected area immediately.

NO! Your pee is already infected! You have to get someone else to do it!

i worked at a retail shop years ago that had fang blennies in various tanks and was always getting pecked. those things are stupid mean!

won't kill you.

but yeah, get a friend to pee on it. :D

Peeing on the blenny will only make it angry.

lol!

I see the headlines now... "Guy with odd swelling arrested after asking stranger to urinate on him."

I call dibs on his corals!

I say do it all, benadryl, hot water, and find as many people to pee on it as possible. Then give the blenny a taste of its own venom by peeing on the blenny...

Just kidding, you'll going to be fine.

 

[skinz78]

LOL yep it's fine today..

 

[gtbarsi]
