Huge African Tiger Fish

[Ferrett]

I stumbled across this video while surfing the web and thought you all might find it interesting. It's posted as a world record piranha, but I believe it is actually an African Tiger fish.

Regardless of which type it is, I AIN'T SWIMMING WITH IT!!!

I am somewhat of a lurker, so my apologies in advance if this is a duplicated posts.

Enjoy

I saw one in Virginia years ago in a Chinese restaurant of all places. It wasn't nearly that size but those teeth are hard to forget. I wonder if they have a temper?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water....

I've looked, but can't really find anything on their temperament. But if the guys in the first picture are holding it just out of the water... then it can't really be a major hazard like a barracuda or shark...
