TLDR: How hard do acaras bite?

This is my blue acara, the most extroverted fish I've ever seen. He gets a little excited when I hand feed my ropefish, and likes to steal some shrimp for himself but lately has become accustomed to hand feeding and will follow my hands or tweezers around when doing tank maintenance. My question is,how hard do you think this guy could nip? I've had a betta take a bit off skin off my finger(painless) but this guy seems to have some chomp to him when he shakes a whole shrimp away from me.

    Had a buddy who kept them, one bit off his finger and he bled out trying to remove it so it didn’t cause an ammonia spike. Sad!
