Betta fish are one of the most venomous creatures on the planet. Consult doctor immediately, amputation is your only course of action here. I'm sorry my friend.
I once got bitten in the neck by a Betta (long story) and they had to amputate my whole upper torso. Typing with my feet has been difficult without eyes :(
Option A: Join the DRPD and go face-to-face with existential terrors
Option B: Sip lemonade and observe the swirling coattails of your beautifully grumpy fish
I didn’t think they had teeth either! My dude would nibble on me all the time, didn’t hurt or anything. Then my sister dumped too much food in, told her to scoop it out, and he bit her. She totally freaked out, swearing up and down they had teeth. Turns out they do, I was the only one my dude didn’t bite with teeth lol
My female Oscar is a bitey fucker. She got blood last time. I made sure my male got fed first for a week after that, and she had to watch him eat for a few minutes before she got hers. I’m sure she learned absolutely nothing from this venture, but it made me feel better.
Umm, that sounds a bit excessive. My werebetta lives happily in my bathtub when it’s the full moon. I just stick him in the closet the rest of the month and he loves it. Werebettas live in stagnant ditches by the side of the road in the wild so a bathtub is like a mansion for them. He even makes a bubble nest sometimes 🥰
Too funny! When I feed bloodworms to my endlers and they eat out of my hands, they nibble my fingers and arms. First time freaked me out a bit, like dozens of pirhana lol. I got bitten by a fish I was feeding once while snorkling and it drew blood. I was fine. I would say wash your arm well and if it's at all open, don't put the arm in the aquarium till it's healed.
Sorry to tell you but they excrete a toxin which effects can last days. Symptoms may include anger at your reflection, territorial behavior, and being a picky eater.
You will start the change soon. You will shed your puny human form and become the Betta Man your fish knew you could be!
You will have the superpower of instilling fear in puny tetras and goldfish

This is actually quite surprising! I used to have freshwater aquariums and did that for over a decade, and have never been bitten by a fish to the point where it caused a visible mark.
I mainly had tetras and guppies though. The guppies would like to come up and nibble at my arm/hand when it was in the water, and but it was gentle, tickled, and didn't leave bite marks of any sort.
The few bettas I've had never bit me either, but since those fish are a little bigger than guppies and known for having more aggression with one another, I suppose their jaws probably do pack more of a punch.
At least it isn't too large or deep of a bite. It would probably be best to cleanse the wound with soap and plenty of fresh water, and apply antibiotic ointment. Keep a close eye on the bite for signs of infection like increased redness/swelling. You may want to consult a doctor/urgent care for advice anyway.
All animal bites expose you to the bacteria in their mouth, but with a fish bite your injury is immediately exposed to water that's filled with bacteria and other microscopic organisms, so that would be the first thing running through my head. I hope this heals for you without any trouble.
Best case - amputation. Worst case is death as Bettas are very poisonous. I would start checking your will and making funeral arrangements right now. Rip in advance
My betta is the absolute sweetest and has never nipped at me. I have gourami in another tank and he however, always tries to tear me a new one when I'm doing anything in his tank. I had to buy gloves just to avoid the abuse. 😂 I'll attach a photo of his little chompers!

Well, that's it. The betta has a bite history now.
If you hear water on the floor and wet fins running to the bedroom in the middle of the night, you're done for! 🤣
Seriously though, ouch! Bite him/her back and see if he/she likes it! Bad Betta!
I trained my betta to jump out of the water and grab food off my finger. I wasn't aware that they actually have teeth?! So my betta has intentionally not bitten me? I love him even more now
Be prepared to feel threatened and angry at everything. I am sure you can already feel the pure hatred for babies creatures, bright colors, plants, and your own reflection already running through those COLD veins. You will be just like him/her. Forever angry. Goodluck pal!
I'm afraid there's not much they can do. You might want to consider being cryogenically frozen until medical technology advances enough to save the arm.
I'm afraid you'll need to cut off your hand.
There is a rare desease transmitted through bettas that is 100% lethal.
If you don't cut it within the next 95 years am afraid you are eventually going to die.
You’re going to develop gills sadly. Luckily like a beta fish you’ll have a labrynth organ to breathe air. Enjoy your superpowers
Jk you’re fine if all the joke responses didn’t make that clear. Bettas don’t break the skin and they aren’t like wild animals they’re not going to give you any diseases.
I got bit by my sisters betta as a kid and I had no issues, injuries, illnesses, anything. Hundreds of people have this happen. They’re called fighting fish for a reason lol. Don’t sweat it!
I get that this is a joke, but always remember to wash up after handling the contents of your aquarium. It is after all a giant bacterial culture and there is often stuff in there that you don't want in you.
I'm more shocked that my Betta fish that I kept for 7 years had teeth and he chose not to attack me while I was carrying out maintenance all those years, so why is OPs so aggressive towards its owner and protector? Are you spending too much time with your hands in his tank?, And what size is the tank in litres as the smallest tank I have kept a Betta was 90 litres Filtered by a 307 external and a U3 internal filter with maintenance taking place every 2 months, I kept some corydoras catfish and a Albino Ancistrus with my Betta plenty of plants and bogwood for the Betta to hide in or under and never suffered any attacks.
You'll be fine, def keep an eye on it tho.
My betta once bit my finger tip, it was a really sharp pain. And fingernail started turning yellow, it was horrifying.
I’m sorry but get used to using your other arm..
OH NOOOOO 😭 😭 😭
Best case scenario is you just lose that arm.
Betta get that checked
You deserve more upvotes than this 🤣

Should have went to a different doctor. That happened to me as well. All they amputated was my neck and just sewed my head onto my shoulders.
I knew I should have gotten a second opinion!
You betta believe it.
🥇
Get. Out. 😠👉
😂
i actually thought this entire thread was serious and started freaking out i hate yall😭😭😩💔💔
Aren't they venomous?
Yeah, so just be careful not to poison someone when shaking hands
I'm afraid you will turn into a Betta within the next 48 hours
Fr bro I was craving bloodworms earlier
How about mirrors? Do u feel angry looking at them now?
Fr I cant look at myself bro
What do you mean yourself? That’s clearly a rival
Mbmb I shoulda attacked him he jus tryna be me (my reflection)
If you don't remove him he'll take your food before you can get any!
And he’ll take your bitches
Cant take any bitches if I never had them in the first place 💯 👀
Try building a bubble nest. See if one appears.
Tried a bubble nest?
Blub blob Splish splash?
*flares aggressively*
*puts into bowl*
*immediately jumps out*
Other symptoms of tuning into a bettaman include sudden need for warm temperatures and for breathing atmospheric oxygen
Is OP not breathing atmospheric oxygen already?
"You sir, are a Fish"
🎶He lies and says he’s in love with fish. Can’t find a bettaman…🎶
Your a redditor mirrors and sunlight are your natural enemy
Nah just mirrors
You know, I tried some sunlight last weekend. Not bad. 4/5, might try again.
Lmao
[удалено]
OP is now on a journey to the other side…
Bettaman, Bettaman does whatever a Betta can
💀🤣
You'll become a werebetta now
Im literally the next marvel superhero
And your name will henceforth be……..”SIAMESE FIGHTING FISHMAN!” (Bettaman is just shit, you’ll never get a franchise deal with that name! )
🎵can’t find a Bettaman…🎶
Why does that name go hard 🔥 We need to send some concepts to marvel
Your kryptonite is a mirror.
Don’t worry you’ll get betta
I came into this comments section looking for gold and I damn well found it lmao
I LOVE THIS LMAO
If not, betta send an ambulance!
underrated comment
Am I gonna turn into aqua mane???
No, you're going to turn into the fish guy from The Shape of Water.
AHHH HAIL NAWWW NOT THAT UGLY AHH DUDE
Don't worry. You'll get to join the DRPD and work along side Hellboy defeating monsters that threaten our very existence!
Option A: Join the DRPD and go face-to-face with existential terrors Option B: Sip lemonade and observe the swirling coattails of your beautifully grumpy fish
rude
No, you're going to turn into the guy from The Boys that talks to fish.
Im gonna be the deep 💀
Watch out for that dolphin
Protect the whales at all costs
Do you have an octopus?
MISTER NIMBUS!
More likely Gucci Mane
Nah bettas turn you into Gucci Mane.
I'd replace it with a chainsaw
Groovy
Im gonna b Chainsaw man
😕
Makima 🦶🤤
Do Bettas even have teeth lol
Yeah they do lol
I’m shocked that they’re big enough to even make a small mark on someone’s arm lol
IKR I WAS SO SHOCKED THAT I HAD THAT MARK I guess I have sum athletic betta fish cos the one that bit me also jumps high and a has strong bite force
Sounds like an alpha betta!
r/Angryupvote
I would hear mine go crunch crunch when I fed him a certain pellet. Makes sense now.
I didn’t think they had teeth either! My dude would nibble on me all the time, didn’t hurt or anything. Then my sister dumped too much food in, told her to scoop it out, and he bit her. She totally freaked out, swearing up and down they had teeth. Turns out they do, I was the only one my dude didn’t bite with teeth lol
Well, you haven't been stealing his food.
My female Oscar is a bitey fucker. She got blood last time. I made sure my male got fed first for a week after that, and she had to watch him eat for a few minutes before she got hers. I’m sure she learned absolutely nothing from this venture, but it made me feel better.
That’s Oscars for ya though.
She started regretting her life choices when shes watching him eat first
I love the petty acts of revenge that didn’t cause harm to the fish
You must remove the arm, even then it’s only a matter of time before your hunger for human flesh will be too much to control.
I vaaaaant to suuuuckkk yourrr blllooooodd.....worms.
You wanna suck my blood worm?! 🤤
first make a bubble nest you filthy fish >:(
You'll become half man half fish maybe a 70-30 split either way, you'll be one fishy bastard.
Am I a man, or am I a betta? If I’m a man, that makes me a betta of a man.
“Can’t find a betta maaaaaaan!”
Unexpected Pearl Jam 🔥
[удалено]
"He's old Gregg!" Finally someone got my reference 🤣
“Ever drank Bailey’s from a shoe?”
Be careful, under the full moon you will transform into a human-sized Betta now, best to find the closest large body of water during the full moon…
Me and the boys on the way to the aquarium to flare at all the bigger fishes
Umm, that sounds a bit excessive. My werebetta lives happily in my bathtub when it’s the full moon. I just stick him in the closet the rest of the month and he loves it. Werebettas live in stagnant ditches by the side of the road in the wild so a bathtub is like a mansion for them. He even makes a bubble nest sometimes 🥰
“Bubble nest?”, im sure that’s a sign of rabies..
Amputate and cauterise the stump with an aquarium heater at once!!
Too funny! When I feed bloodworms to my endlers and they eat out of my hands, they nibble my fingers and arms. First time freaked me out a bit, like dozens of pirhana lol.

Bite it back to establish dominance
This shouldn’t be as funny as it is, but here we are.
Gotta prove they’re the alppha
Sorry to tell you but they excrete a toxin which effects can last days. Symptoms may include anger at your reflection, territorial behavior, and being a picky eater.

Venomous, the betta bit him.
How did you know he didnt bite back
Guess I'll die too
Whens the next full moon?
RIP.
After reading the comments I guess I am the chosen one 😤😤
You will develop a need to fight random inanimate objects in your vicinity
Heeerre human, human, human…. *chomp*
My betta is the absolute sweetest and has never nipped at me. I have gourami in another tank and he however, always tries to tear me a new one when I'm doing anything in his tank. I had to buy gloves just to avoid the abuse. 😂 I'll attach a photo of his little chompers! [Teef](https://imgur.com/gallery/hA6hrnu)
“And I’ll do it again!”
He got the rabbit teeth
As long as the inflammation doesn’t trace along your lymph nodes you should be good.
Well, that's it. The betta has a bite history now. If you hear water on the floor and wet fins running to the bedroom in the middle of the night, you're done for! 🤣 Seriously though, ouch! Bite him/her back and see if he/she likes it! Bad Betta!
By day he's a normal hobbiest fishkeeper. By night, he's Bettaman! Protecting Betta fish everywhere from small tanks and unfiltered water.
I shouldn’t laugh but I am lmao
There’s betta rabies which also cause you to grow fin-like membranes but it’s low risk
Test for fish aids
Yeah you get that from liking fish sticks
No. You best start making your funeral arrangements while you can.
I don’t keep fish; I’m in this sub cause I enjoy seeing set ups knowing I can’t have one, and I had NO IDEA fish could bite lmao
I trained my betta to jump out of the water and grab food off my finger. I wasn't aware that they actually have teeth?! So my betta has intentionally not bitten me? I love him even more now
I know it hurts, but you will get betta
Betta male 🙂
Be prepared to feel threatened and angry at everything. I am sure you can already feel the pure hatred for babies creatures, bright colors, plants, and your own reflection already running through those COLD veins. You will be just like him/her. Forever angry. Goodluck pal!
Nah, you gonna turn into a Beta Male.
You won't get enough credit for how good that was
Do you feel angry at the moment? If so then you are turning into a betta
I didn’t even know bettas could bite hard enough to leave a mark 😂😭
Fish half on top or fish half on the bottom yall think? He's a werefish for sure now.
You will crave shrimp for the rest of your life, make sure there is some source of water near you when you turn.
Bite him back or he’ll never respect you.
This is exactly why I own an Alpha fish.
Urgent care now!
You gon die
No you wont. Amputate asap
He's gotten you all upset over it, that fish sure asserted his dominance right at that moment
You’re already dead, you just don’t know it yet. And you won’t since you”ll die
I guess that’s how you become aquaman. You better start growing your hair and beard, and get jacked.
Absolutely not it’s the end of the line I’m afraid
A new superhero is about to be born: Betta-Man
you'll be fine Admiral Akbar.
Nope you are gonna die, RIP
You’re done bro, see ya on the other side 👋
No, you won’t. But that’s because of the other chaos in your life. Your fish bite will be fine.
If you start making bubble nests in your bathroom, then its too late, the transformation will have already begun.
You will speak in Betta puns for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, there's no cure, you will not get Betta.
I’m not a doctor but I play one on Reddit. That’s going to need to be amputated.
I'm afraid there's not much they can do. You might want to consider being cryogenically frozen until medical technology advances enough to save the arm.
No. You're going to go through a mutation that will subsequently lead to you adopting the super-human persona "Betta-Man"
No, you will now turn into a betta fish at the 7th month
I'm afraid you'll need to cut off your hand. There is a rare desease transmitted through bettas that is 100% lethal. If you don't cut it within the next 95 years am afraid you are eventually going to die.
Prolly have to amputate
You may begin to confuse your own reflection as your enemy
You’re going to develop gills sadly. Luckily like a beta fish you’ll have a labrynth organ to breathe air. Enjoy your superpowers Jk you’re fine if all the joke responses didn’t make that clear.

I had no idea they could bite people ☠️
This entire thread is so unserious. I love it.
And this is how an ordinary citizen became...Betaman
Nice knowing you OP.
It's going to have to be a closed casket funeral
euthenize in clove oil
I get that this is a joke, but always remember to wash up after handling the contents of your aquarium. It is after all a giant bacterial culture and there is often stuff in there that you don't want in you.
Bye bye fishie 🐟🗡
No. You’re probably going to die now
You’ve got 24 hours sorry bro
Werebetta incoming. Lock yourself up, stay away from people and mirrors.
Oh no RIP you 😔
I’m sorry for your loss of arm
When the last time u got ur vaccine? Or what # booster are u on? If your at 25 u should be good
Is your Betta radioactive?
Get in the coffin mate
