hmm, i don't quite understand what you're saying.. my fish are caribe, which have red bellies and a black spot on each side behind their head... the type of fish that is considered yellow-bellied is called a piraya

any particular discussion you're referring to?

Yellow-bellied... old-tyme slang? Meaning wimp.

WOW... I'm a vegitarian, but that was SWEET!! It's like watching porn... kinda... but not arousing, just that guilty sort-of- pleasure. I would have voted for alive mouse, or rat or something that can't breath underwater, but that has claws. Any chance you could get your hands on a blow-fish?

Those things are pretty cool, but it's still funny to think that a single well placed nail could fvck them all over

Don't take it the wrong way but you guys must have some serious psych problems to actually "enjoy" this stuff and watch some suffering. That is a typical trait of serial killers and psychopaths actually

Don't claim that it is natural, either. In nature, this fish wouldn't be confined to an area with no chance at survival. Why not kill it quickly and drop it in for them to eat? They wouldn't know the difference.

But hey, it made you and the other 12 year olds bust a nut so its all good :roll:....

Yeah usually they do... Killer whales often kill larger whales like right whales and then eat only the jaws and tongues.

There was a great story I heard related to this (sorta). Back in the whaling days around here (Vancouver) the whalers and the local killer whales had developed an odd relationship. The killerwhales would herd a pod of right whales into a bay where the human whalers would be waiting. This happened regularly year after year. The humans would then harpoon the right whales, drag them onboard and then throw back the lower jaws + tongues of the right whales for the killer whales to eat.

Now if that isn't man fvcking being at one with nature, I don't know what is.

Do you have to enclose them on one side or something?
Or do you use equipment to do it without sticking in your

just curious....I've kept fish for many years but never piranha..illegal here.

i use the python hose thing that attaches to a sink faucet...

i stick my hand in the tank, no biggie.. .they go off to the opposite corner of the tank while i clean it out i think it's cuase they've gotten used to me going in there w/ the big vac every couple of days

brave....very brave! Wouldn't you make sure you had fed them first?
I mean, they are indeed piranhas and their instinct is to attack anything pretty much right?

They could be used to you going in there with the vac, but what if....just what if ?
