Hey guys, im new to piranhas so i decided to look up feeding videos on them and i found this.

in my opinion it looks like a starving piranha biting the owners hand bc it is so hungry but i could be wrong, i thought it was starving because of its shape, i know that they are supposed to be more of an oval shape instead of a flat shape.
Tell me if this is a starving piranha or the actual shape of some kind of piranha
 
no that piranha is totally fine, its an elongatus so it looks longer. its really mean they arent starving him. he looks really really healthy.
 
its an elongatus
one of the most aggresive piranha
and starving dosent always make them more aggresive
it can make them sick
ive tried it before with bad results
 
yeah that guy is just an idiot, swirling your finger around in a tank, after feeding it expecially, with all the smell of the food still on your finger, lots of fish would attack your finger.
