Description
The fearsome reputation of the red-bellied piranha has been exaggerated, scientists claim. Although it is indeed an aggressive predator, it doesn't attack people or go after humans. The fish is commonly described as an opportunistic feeder - besides hunting living prey, it's also a scavenger fish that feeds on dying fish and carcasses. Its unearned reputation does make red-bellied piranha popular with aquarium keepers.
