Wild black Pacu

[guppy]

I know that this is the piranha thread but it is also where the pacus are often discussed.
I just found these pics and they are to good not to share.
They are from a fishing site, www.riverplateanglers.com

And they bite! There was an article in a New Guinea newspaper about two incidents about fishermen using nets being bitten by introduced black pacu. The fishermen were naked and were both bitten on the genitals, both died of shock and blood loss. Keep you pants on when swimming with pacu.

Scale count? Since fish go to school, they should know how to count.
