Aquarium Fish Puts Man In Hospital

EAST ROCKAWAY, N.Y. -- A man was taken to a hospital after tangling with a venomous fish in his home aquarium, police said.
A one-spot foxface rabbitfish bit the 19-year-old Tuesday night while he was working on his fish tank in East Rockaway, said Nassau County Police Officer Thomas Brussell.

The species has venomous spines on its back, according to fishbase.org, an electronic database maintained by researchers. Also called the blotched foxface rabbitfish, the fish is found in tropical seas off western Australia, the Philippines and other parts of the western Pacific Ocean.
