PIRANHAS EATING PREY FISH ALIVE! CAUTION! (Graphic Content) Please subscribe for more!

An african cichlid (White Labidochromis) was eaten alive by ten wild red bellied piranhas (Pygocentrus Nattereri) in a 75 gallon planted tank. The cichlid had lost one of his eyes, so became a feeder.

I feel bad for the Oscars.. they have to live with those piranhas... and the owner..

[@lumin9ry]

dear god, im a snake guy and i dont really have a problem with live feeding snakes and many other animals/fish, and im not particularly sensitive to brutal videos, but this one got to me, that poor fuckin fish couldve easily gotten away from the piranhas but he kept hitting the walls of the aquarium, seems like a pretty horrific way to die trapped in a box full of piranhas

[@butkusfan23]

I am a snake guy too. But this seemed kinda fucked up. The guy just sat there filming it. For one thing, the tank is way too small. Those Oscars alone should have a bigger tank. And I have never known this to *not* happen in a piranha tank eventually.

[@Pray4Mojo1]

+Syd G Yep, beautiful fish totally wasted. I think fish stores should stop selling fish to idiots like this.

[@kharsagi]

MichaelVick I mean, his piranhas look healthy and fantastic, don't get me wrong, but that's just an awful way to treat a living fish, much less such a rare-coloured lab. If fish stores actually knew half of the places their fish were going they probably wouldn't sell any in the first place XD

[@jesselukes5796]

I see where you're coming from, and it is a nice looking fish, and I wouldn't do it either, but I'm sure you can buy some cheap feeders for this kind of stuff right?

[@kharsagi]

Jesse Lukes I personally would never give feeders bought from the store to predatory fish, they are all diseased and pet stores don't give a crap about them and keep them in really awful environments. They're cheap and in that way worth less, but they go through the same amount of pain as that white lab would. The problem is they hunt and kill fish in the wild anywho, but is it really natural for us to raise and cruelly keep feeders and buy them for this purpose? I don't know, it's kind of a grey area, but a lot of people do it and have success with their fish. And a lot of fish get sick from eating diseased feeder fish. The best thing is really dead shrimp and clams and things from the store rather than live fish in my opinion, but everyone has different ones so there's that.

[@Pray4Mojo1]

Feeder fish are horrific. There's hardly any nutritional value at all and they're full of diseases. A home made food out of beef heart, shrimp, fish,etc is much better for them.

[@RandomGuy-dw7hf]

1. If it lost an eye it can still live perfectly happily, it doesn’t have to become a feeder 2. Even if it was unhappy, that wasn’t putting it out of its misery, that would’ve been a terrifying, painful way to die

[@mondraymondo]

Fascinating.... not only the piranhas respect the oscars and vice versa, they seem to also not target the smaller cichlids on the lower level... they must've recognized them as tankmates instead

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

They really only actively attack if they're hungry or cornered, so it's not really suprising. They're in a safe tank with no potential predators since they are large enough to not be eaten by the oscars, in a large school, probably with daily feedings and good water quality, they would pretty much be large carnivourous neon tetras. Though I must say, those oscars have shredded fins, very typical when piranhas are nearby, you can even see it happening in the wild.

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

Really, the only reason that I could think of as to why they attacked the mbuna is because it was colored white, signaling to the piranhas that there's an open wound on a fish, or that it is a random floating piece of meat.

I hope you don't like your beautiful Oscars too much. They're gonna be next on the menu

[@Dr.Gelain]

Not necessarily, those oscars are almost double the size of the piranhas which makes the piranhas scared of it as piranhas are not so fearless and fierce as media says them to be. If you were to put your hand in a piranhas tank, they would actually swim away carefully as they would recognise your hand as a predator and a potential threat. Additionally, the oscars seem to know that they can't mess with the piranhas, if you watch carefully, you will notice that they avoid to get in the way of the piranhas and vice versa. In conclusion, oscars and piranhas are compatible tank mates that will live harmonically if a few requirements are met: 1 being an Oscar that is bigger than the piranhas, preferably if you can get more than 1 Oscar. 2, a very big tank of at least 150-200 gallons, 300+ recommended. And finally 3, plenty of hiding places and live plants.

[@TwinMillMC]

@@Dr.Gelain I've seen a bunch of Piranhas devour an Oscar that big in a KZbin video once. I think as soon as one Piranha bites and the Oscar runs, then that creates a frenzy and they all go in for the kill. And it can happen any time in this tank. One wrong move and the owner will wake up one day and find one less Oscar.

[@Dr.Gelain]
