At the risk of sparking a Creationism vs Evolution debate, which I don't think will happen or at least I hope won't happen, I found a Creationist clip by Kent Hovind in a Thunderfoot video explaining that a man in Texas was raising Piranha in a pressurized tank to try and simulate pre-biblical flood conditions. He explained that because of the pressurized tank the Piranhas grow to 4 times the size as normal.

The exact part in the video begins at 01:39. Now with just a glance, you can tell these aren't even Piranhas but in fact Pacus, but could a thing even be done without killing the fish? Is it even possible to have a pressurized aquarium at this level?
 
aweeesome video! pirahna!!! thats priceless
 
That's funny!
Sometimes big pet stores with unskilled employees, will put baby Pacu with baby Red Bellies. I wonder if that's what happened. He thought he got piranha but he got Pacu and neither he nor the clerk knew what they were doing.
 
i gotta say that this guy doesn't make anyone look good. he didn't prove anything based on fact. i will not reveal my beliefs to spare world war 3 on this thread, but i will say that he didn't back up anything he said with evidence. this is NOT the way you develop a theme of what you think and present it to skeptics. thats all i will say
