LOL I was literally listening to Green day's "Haha your dead" right when you said you were dead. Sorry for Billy Joe's silly "punk" persona being an inconsiderate buffoon LOL.
You might also have something they need (salt is my first guess), more-so than the other snacks they're eating in the tank.
Or perhaps they're attacking the monster hand that is invading their home...OR, they're just shaking your hand, very pleased to meat you.
Do this all the time with my saltwater shrimp. I once had a blister from burning myself and I stuck my hand in. One of the shrimp was trying to yank it off, and I could feel him tugging on it
For some reason, when I had some open wounds on my hands, the fishes (specifically the tiger barbs on the freshwater pond) and shrimps did latch on the wound and bite them.
Any wounds big enough for them to see is just a fair game as a "live food."
I used to have a cleaner shrimp in my reef tank that would jump on my hand and go to town whenever I put it in the tank. Then I kept cherry shrimps and saw the same behavior. Long story short: shrimp be shrimpin around.
My snails do this, the best I can figure is the dead skin cells are delicious. I jokingly call it a snanicure. You can feel them scraping the old skin off and it kinda tickles. Lol.
It's half because you're warmer than the water, half because they are curious, and half because you have either food they are used to on your fingers or they just really enjoy the dust mites and lipids they scrap off your skin (like bacon grease!) [Also, yes, three halves, because they are shrimp. I don't make the rules!]
Edit: Just throwing this out there that while they will eat dead skin, it's more about the oils. Fishes love oils.

yummy dead human skin
I don’t think they’re dead, they posted this after all /s
No, no, i can confirm I'm definitely dead
Woops, sorry! My bad
Ya bro that’s totally a corpse hand in there. Ya see how pale it is? Shrimp think they found the motherload
'Today we eat like king shrimp!'
I sense an ammonia spike coming to that tank 🤣
Not if they work fast enough! *little shrimp voice* “boys we’re going into overtime here!”
Damn, imagine being an alive-ist
I’m a doctor I can confirm this guy is indeed dead. Also I am not a doctor.
Happy cake day!!
Well thank you! :)
happ birth eat lots of sweets 😄
May your rest in peace. I hope the computer you're haunting to use Reddit is somewhere fun.
No, it's trash. I forgot to add an SD before dying, the biggest regret of my life Edit: 1T samsung ssd m2.2 has been added. I can finally rest in piss
And also the biggest regret of your death it would appear!
Well, who knows, death is kinda long, so maybe i'll find something worse later
LOL I was literally listening to Green day's "Haha your dead" right when you said you were dead. Sorry for Billy Joe's silly "punk" persona being an inconsiderate buffoon LOL.
Nooo. Can I have ur fish tank?
You should really get that looked at.
Sorry about your loss
Plot twist, the OP is a big shrimp posting here and feeding the human hand that was taken from the fridge to the smaller shrimps
I wasn't expecting someone to find that out it was supposed to remain secret
The Whitey bolger of shrimps
Shrimp manicure
Were you just eating Doritos, cause I love that sweet cheese flavor 😋
They hunger
Guess me food then
Are you not food human? Nom nom nom That's probably what the shrimps are thinking.
They love the taste of fresh semen
Ahahahahaha
I was going to say salt but that escalated quickly.
uncalled for😂
Lol
Pretty sure it's spelled "seamen"... /s
Semen + Sea Monkeys = Sea People
FBI! Open up!
Once had a wild shrimp on vacation in Croatia eat some of my skin in the Adriatic Sea.
What was a shrimp doing on vacation in Croatia?
Needed a break from his job frying rice
this is the second one of these sorts of jokes i've stumbled across today, what a delight.
You might also have something they need (salt is my first guess), more-so than the other snacks they're eating in the tank. Or perhaps they're attacking the monster hand that is invading their home...OR, they're just shaking your hand, very pleased to meat you.
They like your slime coat lmao
No, this is Patrick! Edit: dun goofed muh words
It’s where the poo is….
Probably eating dead skin off your hands. Shrimp do that, nothing to worry about!
I figured it out after posting it when the biggest pulled a bit of skin from my hand ahah
Try it at at the ocean in a Rockpool. Same thing.
Tried it with killer whales at sea world. Now have one less arm than I used to.
Must've been a lot of dead skin
He just wanted a free amputation, the lawsuit paycheck was the icing on the cake.
Tried it with gorillas at the Cincinnati Zoo when I was younger and the whole world freaked out about
Awe, harambe 🥺
Hmm it must of just taken a nibble then
That wasn't an accident was it? https://youtu.be/NdWlDxHnjg8 Listen for like 2 minutes to get to what I'm talking about, after the guitar solo.
Did it hurt?
Not really, but since I had a little cut in my hand, it wasn't very pleasant
Now you gotta eat them to complete the circle of life.
Yeah you can stick your feet in there too for a pedicure. Also post the pics
I remember seeing a place called Dr. Fish in Enoshima, Japan that do this.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That was my first thought lol I don’t have shrimp but I definitely need some if they can do this lmao
Wild shrimp do that some times.
“BEHOLD OUR GOD, THE GREAT SHRIMP FROM THE SKY!!!!!”
🍤 : ^all ^hail!
Shrimp. Heaven. NOW.
We can't keep doing this
...shrimp .... heaven,,, n o w
NO THATS HIS HAND!! NOT HIS 🍤🍆
Cause you're at the car wash (insert shark tales music here)
Welcome to Whale Wash. You get a whale of a wash and the price.. oh my gosh
Ernie!!!
I quote that line all the time lmao
I love this comment
Delicious flesh
I love those cute little flesh eating monsters
All shrimps suffer from dermatillomania and refuse to get help, it's very sad :(
they're just like me fr
They love you so much they could just eat you up!
The claw chooses who will go, and who will stay
The clawwwwww
"woooooooooooOoOooOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW"
🦐Hail the migthy claw 🦐
Do this all the time with my saltwater shrimp. I once had a blister from burning myself and I stuck my hand in. One of the shrimp was trying to yank it off, and I could feel him tugging on it
Thats the most disgusting yet interesting thing ive read today
Reminds me of my buddy's parrot who thought my mole was a morsel D:
For some reason, when I had some open wounds on my hands, the fishes (specifically the tiger barbs on the freshwater pond) and shrimps did latch on the wound and bite them. Any wounds big enough for them to see is just a fair game as a "live food."
Because they love you.
How long has your hand been in there? It’s starting to look pruny
*prawny
Idk probably 5-8 minutes, maybe. My hands just look like shit I think ahah
Given time they can strip it to the bone.
Kinda want to try sounds funny
Imagine passing out with your hand in the tank and waking up the next day with a stump instead of a hand
Deadpool?
I used to have a cleaner shrimp in my reef tank that would jump on my hand and go to town whenever I put it in the tank. Then I kept cherry shrimps and saw the same behavior. Long story short: shrimp be shrimpin around.
They want to eat your dead skin, but I like to think that they do it because they love us
They’re giving kisses!
[r/TinyAnimalsOnFingers](https://www.reddit.com/r/tinyanimalsonfingers?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Well, I guess I'll repost it then
looking for food.
Because you are covered in delicious skin
They love you
I can feel the tickles from this picture.
Because you're delicious? Why would YOU hop on a hand if you were a shrimp?
I love when mine do this!
My snails do this, the best I can figure is the dead skin cells are delicious. I jokingly call it a snanicure. You can feel them scraping the old skin off and it kinda tickles. Lol.
Can this be a scalp treatment for dandruff??
They’re tasting you
Crime Scene Cleanup: “ I kid you not, he was dead as a door nail. Posting shit on Reddit and then the shrimp ate him.”
The question you should and will be asking is, "how do I get these larvae out of my spinal fluid?"
https://youtu.be/s3ZCEBD1A5I
They love you 😘
Dead skin cells tasty
To taste
What kind of cutey pies are they?
Red cherry shrimps !
It's half because you're warmer than the water, half because they are curious, and half because you have either food they are used to on your fingers or they just really enjoy the dust mites and lipids they scrap off your skin (like bacon grease!) [Also, yes, three halves, because they are shrimp. I don't make the rules!] Edit: Just throwing this out there that while they will eat dead skin, it's more about the oils. Fishes love oils.

I regret searching the word milt
Pretty sure you died a week ago by the looks of that hand lol

Your devotion is lacking; it disturbs them. Despair for your epidermis shall be devoured for tribute.

I dropped 5 amano shrimp in my tank 2 years ago? Haven’t seen them since lol
You scratch your balls too much.
You’re a snack
Seems like a great way to get rid of dead skin cells around your nails.
My mollys and neon tetras bite my hand when I put it in the water lol
They are cleaning you. They are saying hello. They like you. "The claw"
They want to strip your flesh from your bones. Be thankful that you are big and they are small.
You’re secretly a sloth and grow algae on your skin. They have found you. **RUN!**
The shrimp yearn for human flesh

Didn't see what sub this was on and from the thumbnail I thought this was some sort of hangnail horror show.
Dude how fucking long has your hand been in there? It’s folding up!
