Feeding piranha and close call

[greg c]

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.

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.

DMD123 told me about a woman who lost the tip of her finger to a fahaka puffer. Ouch
