My husband was bitten by a fish in port dickson making horrible pain. What is that fish? Does any local know?

Question

I took him to hospital and had 4 injections to control the pain.

Answer 1

I am sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he gets well soon.

In Port Dickson, Malaysia, there are probably many different species of fish that are able to bite and inflict horrible pain depending on where he was. (saltwater/fresh water)

I would say it was a "Tapah".

Answer 2

I don't live there but did it look big and looked like it had whiskers on it? did it bite his whole hand or arm? If it bit its whole arm or hand he may get infected due to the wound and teeth of the fish. If it looked like it had whiskers then its probably a species of catfish.
