From the moment tiny baby piranhas hatch from their microscopic eggs, they come into the world armed and dangerous. Baby piranha will feast on tiny crustaceans, fruits, seeds, and aquatic plants. Once they reach about 1.5 inches in length they begin feeding on the fins and flesh of other fish that wander too closely. As they grow larger they begin to venture out in groups (schools) of about 20 fish where they use a variety of hunting strategies to kill and eat their prey. Heck, they don't kill their prey first, they just start eating the victim alive - that's what makes them so ferocious. Adult piranha have been known to eat their own babies. Talk about brutal!
When a school of piranha are in a feeding frenzy the water appears to boil and churn red with blood. They attack with such ferocity that they strip an animal of its flesh within a matter of minutes, even taking bites out of each other in the process.

There are approximately 20 species of piranha found living in the Amazon River, with only four or five of them posing any danger. Most piranha species are quite harmless and docile, but the ones with the nasty reputation for aggressive behavior are the red-bellied piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri.


A sick and dying cow had been taken down and finished off by a school of ravenous piranha during the dry season when they are notoriously aggressive.
Adult piranha will eat just about anything - other fish, sick and weakened cattle, even parts of people. Sickly cattle that have stooped their heads down to drink from the river have been grabbed by the mouth and nose and pulled into the water, completely devoured minutes later. As wicked as it all sounds, piranha have a useful function in the Amazonian jungles just like any other predators in the wild. They are part of the checks and balances Mother Nature employs to eliminate the weak and sick so only the strong survive.

Basically, after years of keeping and breeding Piranhas I would advise as follows:

1. Respect your fish at all times - this means in two ways; Firstly, the potential power of the fish and their ability to use their teeth in lightning fast bites. Secondly - respect your fish's nervous disposition and personal space. Piranhas can be extremely shy and nervous fish. Mixed with a primitive response mechanism and you end up with a fish that will attack when it is frightened. So give it some space, do not move things in the aquarium close to it and do not make them jump.

2. Try and live by this rule - feed first - then work on aquarium. Its sounds simple doesn't it... but people have kept piranhas and placed their hands in the tank when the fish have not been fed for two days. The fish may not see the hand as direct food, but they have enough intelligence to associate the hand and the owner's presence with feeding. My friend did this once with a single black piranha... he ended up with a chunk out of his thumb and a few stiches to keep it attached to his hand. So feed him first, watch him feed and then after about 10 or 15 mins when that "After Sunday Lunch" feeling has settled in the fish - do the work. Very often, your piranha may be so shy that they won't eat in front of you! Seriously, he may wait until you are out of sight before eating... it has happend to me on several occasions.

3. Invest in a pair of tongs - especially for the aquarium. they have a grip handle and a trigger that will open the claws on the other end. I never ever put my hands in one of my piranha tanks if I can possibly use tongs to do the job.

4. Watch your fish - make sure that they are well away from you. Although a full grown piranha can hurtle across a tank at alarming speed.

5. Try and get a divider fitted that simply drops in from above and isolates the side of the aquarium you want to work on.

6. During heavy maintenance work and tidying up you may find it easier to siphon off some tank water into a bucket with a lid, catch the fish in a long net and transfer him. I know that people would say that this causes stress... but so does a missing finger on your hand. Piranhas endure far worse in the drying pools of South America... a plastic net and bucket are heaven when compared to this. Note... make sure your net is tough enough, they will eventually wear out.

Generally, don't put your hands in if you can help it, never before feeding and try and isolate the fish whenever possible.
