There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Catoprion mento (Wimpel Piranha)
It feeds largely on the scales of both conspecifics and other species in nature, and has specially adapted teeth in order to do so. This doesn’t mean you need to feed live fish in the aquarium. The vast majority of specimens will accept chopped prawn, mussel, lancefish and other meaty foods.
Juveniles tend to form shoals, but an adult fish really should be housed alone, as a single specimen. Females in particular become particularly belligerent as they mature and will attack males constantly.
Size: 6″ (15cm). Usually a little smaller.
Distribution: Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil and Bolivia.
