I made this video to show the difference in how outgoing these 3 species of piranha compare to each other, red belly, caribe, piraya, and while filming and being a bit careless the big piraya came extremely close to biting my finger.

Wow! Be careful my friend. Thanks for killing the myth of all Piranha species are skittish.

I've seen people that keep a single red belly and they are a little more outgoing than when they are kept in a school, actually I have noticed when piranha are kept single in a tank they usually are more outgoing, might be because they are not stressed out about another piranha taking a chunk out of them, I do have to be more careful, he definitely surprised me for sure

Dude!!! You’re going to loose a finger!!!

My worst encounter was with saltwater, I had a 10inch Dog faced puffer take the tip of my finger.
Nothing compared to what that piranha could do.
Cool video though, you have some nice fish.
