Holding the fish probably freaked it out more.    But it did hurt my eye.

That's what I thought too.  I have a syringe, but the needle on it is HUGE!

According to science... most all fish can't feel pain, they can only react to it in a "reflex motion".... the ones who can feel pain usually have a very limited number of pain receptors and they are usually clustered together in one area... IE a rainbow trout and it's lips(it has 50-60 receptors along it's lips)... Most fish simply can't feel it due to lack of receptors or Brain capacity...(weird I know some people who should technically not be able to feel pain either then :P )

Hahaha, I know some that resemble that! 

I too have heard the same thing about pain in a fish.  Paul B on RC talks about this in some of his posts.  He has done surgery on several of his fish with wonderful success! 

I wonder what would happen if I just "popped" the bubble with a needle instead of suctioning out the air?

I don't know, they were like that as tiny babies when brian got them.  Maybe someone else can chime in as to what causes it.
