“The year was 1997. In Manaus, the isolated capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, a patient was wheeled in with a candiru in his urethra. After hours of surgery, urologist Dr Anoar Samad managed to extract the fish, dragging its carcass back out through the unfortunate patient's penis.”

I have not done further research into this so take it with a grain of salt too.

Same case mentioned on Wikipedia. It has supposedly been refuted.

You know, there has never been a confirmed case of a candiru actually attacking a human. There was a case where one supposedly attacked a woman once, complete with X-ray images, but it was debunked(maybe). It might have happenned a few times in world history, but a 16" fish an inch or more thick is not about to squeeze its way up a human penis. If such an attack where to happen, it would probably be a small specimen attacking a woman peeing (the pee may, but probably does not, attract candirus) in water higher then her waist. Even then, It would be by no means a likely occurance.

That is the largest species. There are hundreds of species of candiru, some under an inch long and from what i have seen of them they could easily fit into a human urethra if they were so inclined. To get a grasp of how small they are, you could quicky glance at a tank and if you did see them you might just assume they were big anchor worms/detritus worms/nematodes.

The mere thought of it going up it is enough to make me not want to be near one. But the leopard ones do look nice and are interestingly enough a catfish.
