Our bumblebee must not have liked my hand in the tank... it bit me on the wrist. :o
I have been bit a couple times before, but by much larger fish. Nibbled all the time by smaller fish when doing maintenance, etc.
But this bumblebee got me pretty good. Gave me a good laugh since it startled me so much. ;D

So it was living up to its name. LOL

Cichlid bites aren't bad when you expect them. I always find myself surprised, jerk my arm as a result, hit something harder on accident than the bite really was, and wonder why I reacted like I did. ;D

Yup, that sums it up spot on!

Which is a big problem if you've got glass lids and cut your arm or something. I started out with cheapo piece of glass lids from Lowe's and got a couple scars while try to catch fish or when startled. Plastic or nice beveled glass lids for me now. :)

No way.... Convict Cichlids are too big of a species

my midas bite me many times over the years but only drawing blood a couple of times. she was not very loving.

I have been bit by a 3' Arrowana and a 12"+ Buttakofri. Those were the best real bites I have had.
This bumblebee just totally caught me off guard and got me right on the soft part of the wrist.

My Arowana got me a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I moved to avoud a full bite but he still drew blood. I always feed him from above and he nails nightcrawlers when they hit the water so this practice has led to some very challenging water changes/glass cleanings. :)

I second this, I feed mine thawed frozen shrimp and dangle them in the water and he nails them hard he has caught me once really good, so I drop them in right as hes hitting them now, it was funny with him splashing all over during dinner.
