PIRANHA LIVE FEEDING turns into DISASTER! ALMOST LOST THEM (WARNING! Graphic content)

The problem wasn’t with the food source.. it was a filtration malfunction and the oxygen level dropped significantly during the hunt, in turn I have changed the water couple more times over the night and fixed the canister pump.

The mouth doing the breathing motions is the same as a lizard tail moving after the lizard losing it. The fish head has no nerve inputs, blood supply or oxygen. Probably brain dead in less than a minute of losing the heart and respitory parts, especially being in shock and panic burns oxygen faster.

Agreed, it has been proven that there are micro plastics and forever toxins/poisons in all our water on the planet.

Then one by one they take their turns. If you have adults with juveniles, the juveniles will wait close by for the adults to all get their turns. Then the adults switch places with the juveniles one by one as they feed. Very interesting and kind of beautiful if you think of how organized their packs can be. Love the video my friend.

After you catch the fish you should put it in a qarantine tank for a minimum of three days and hospitalize them , put aquarium salt and medication and feed tjem some good flake food , and I can pretty much guarantee that will never happen again ....

Also suggest a strong wave maker , piranhas love swimming in the current , i can send you a video of mine , absolutely love the exercise , makes for a much happier fish , the wave maker also helps for tje filtration too ...

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

This is similarly simulates what happens when people let go of ‘pets’ in areas they would be considered to be ‘invasive.’ The native species have no real defense for the shock of the sudden introduction to a new predator, the native species finds itself in more and more flight or fight situations until their numbers are easily decimated and drastically reduced. Without the sudden introduction it wouldn’t be a shock as it takes lots of time for nature to overlap and acclimate to natural changes in the conditions of the environment. Humans tend to not respect this or act as if completely oblivious due to their lack of awareness. Could you imagine blue gill, bass, gar, and red belly piranha acclimating to one another naturally in the wild and what impact that would have on them from their defense mechanisms to how they how hunt, hide, and even how they look? Bluegill would undoubtedly have to become tougher more aggressive fish to not be hunted into total extinction.

How exactly do you know what another animal "feels"? Based on someone else's studies or science? You'll never really know. That is the only truth. You regurgitate information you've read or seen but you don't know for sure. Not yet anyway. So when you are trapped in basement by another human being and they cut off your head and you watch them and others feed on your body only then will you know for sure. I for one do not want any part of that moment or experience and would not wish it on any other living creature. This animal was trapped, not naturally, by a human in a small glass box. That is unnatural. Nature doesn't put itself in a box with no escape option. In the wild this bluegill would never encounter pirhana and it may outlive all other predators around it including pike because in its genes may be a great ability to avoid predation. It may have lived to die of old age having bred thousands of times but its life was cut miserably short by a neanderthal looking to entertain itself for 5 minutes watching a creature suffer while trapped in a mechanically produced death trap. I'm all for survival of the fittest but in this situation there is no chance at all and everything has been fabricated. If you were put in this "natural" situation and mauled by cannibals I don't believe you would feel anything natural about it.

You want to put yourself on a pedestal above all other creations and look at yourself from an outside view. You think in the most logical way yet you seem to fail to understand that even for the mighty "you" one day the curtains will close on your theatre. This experience that is your life will end in some time and you alone get to experience your own death. It may happen suddenly when you are walking down the street and get struck by a fast moving wayward object that destroys your brain in an instant. One minute you are here with your feelings, thoughts, and memories and then in an instant it will all be gone for you. Like turning off a television forever. It may happen as you lay in a bed gasping for air alone in a hospital room as your lungs fail you. Maybe someone rushes to your side but there will be no way back for you. There is no rewind, no save, no re-do. All your choices and decisions will have led you to that moment of your demise. My point is that we should all respect life. Let nature do what nature does... in nature! If we interject our control over life we are playing God and tampering with powers out of our comprehension. Life is precious. As far as we know we only get one. We are given great power over other living things but that comes with great responsibility. You've surely heard all of this before but yet you don't understand. Go visit a live volcano. Take a trip outside the atmosphere. Go deep sea diving. This world is more beautiful and powerful than us yet we continue to try and find ways to destroy it bit by bit all while rationalizing our bad behavior. I really hope you take the time to ponder on all of this. If you are an attractive young woman you are blessed but you should be careful in this world. There are enough people out there jealous of life's beauty who wish to see it obliterated. Don't join in with that crowd because it seems cool or logical. Follow your heart and respect all forms of life and may your life end peacefully when you are prepared for it.

@Mikayla Droz I have thoroughly read all of your comments but I don't feel you are receiving my messages properly. I would like to discuss this more in private as the topic has gone way deeper than the life of a fish. You mention the big crash... I would like to learn more about what you "think" you know of this. xcmhx(at)ymail(dot)com I bet you only know a fraction of life and reality! I look forward to further discussion through email. Thanks.

[@thesqueezle]

As much as I feel bad for the bluegill I know that happens in the wild so...

[@greensun1334]

Yes, it happens in the Nature. But, at Home is not Nature. It's not necessary to let an Animal die painful and slow like this poor Fish! I also had Piranhas and fed them with Dog-Food! This is a good Way and the Piranhas stay healthy!

[@tylerhill9510]

@@greensun1334 fish don't feel pain or suffering they have almost no brain

[@greensun1334]

@@tylerhill9510I know what you mean but they feel pain, just not so intense like us. They also had a Brain but it works like " just survive, eat and mate". They also know when something bad is goin' on and can get stressed... Yes, you can't compare a Fish with a higher developed Being - like a Dog for Example - but they are vertebrates too - and all of them still have a Brain! Greetings from Austria

[@drranjithsukumar]

You know this to be absolute fact how?

[@monacarobinson4349]

Although it is fascinating to see piranhas hunting prey I just feel so bad for the bluegill. You can't kill it and drop it in the tank? And I'm not judging I don't know much about fish or anything I'm just simply asking I'm not trying to like start a fight or anything. I just couldn't imagine being eaten alive and half my body gone and still be alive. Just wondering.

[@Bearskimethod]

Nature is harsh and indiscriminate.. hunting provides physiological and behavioral development,. Thank you for watching

[@xcmhx]

This isn't hunting! There's no chance for this animal to escape it is just trapped. Have at least some respect for life and living things. That animal went through complete misery and it was brought on by your unnatural actions. In the wild that animal could have escaped but your small little glass box prevented that. I seen absolutely nothing natural here.

[@gheufbfff]

Need more surface agitation mate. The red belly would have used a massive amount of oxygenated water is the hunt and uncovered you have insufficient exchange. No plants, no air stones and no surface agitation is setting yourself up for disaster with those fish.

[@Bearskimethod]

There are live plants and plants of exchange..

[@johnrickles3378]

Would you mind if we did a collab? Id love to do a video of my electric eep vs your piranhas. I have 3 full grown electric eel. I figure that would be a pretty good video. We could film it in my tank. I think itll be super awesome content. Just bring all your piranha

[@fritzmedrano9770]

Imagine if that blue gill is a human . What kind of pain tolerance is that .

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Tolerance? Tolerance means you can take it. The bluegill didn’t have a choice. Like if you do something I hate and I don’t respond… that would be me tolerating it.

Youre feeding a wild fish that could have many/any contaminates/parasites… common aquarium sense… not going to work unless youre lucky

I must be the luckiest.. 35 yeas and no parasitic problems or death.. nature knows best 💪🏻🌎❤️ Your common aquarium sense is called INDUSTRIAL PET CARE 👎🏻 total garbage and animal abuse.. wrong channel pal ✌🏻

Somebody give me a bloody timestamp

[@greensun1334]

They got definetly not overfed. It must have an other Reason, maybe Parasites or Fungus inside or on the Bluegill.

[@EnlightenedMrArms]

Now I really want a piranha and arapaima interaction. They can’t bite through it’s scales so I think it would be interesting to see if they try to anyway or would they already know and keep their distance.

[@victoriahatch371]

I'm sure an araipaima would eat them. They're incredibly fast and strong fish. It wouldn't be a good idea to put them together if you want to keep the piranha araipaima are endangered. I hope the fish are OK now after being sick.

[@melissalove2463]

I don’t know why I’m here I can’t handle watching something being eaten while it’s alive !

[@sergeantbilko7070]

Slowly eaten alive. One of my fantasies. 😂

[@kyfarm]

Yeah, maybe this was the most humane way this guy could think of to feed his piranha.

[@stevekrewson9502]

I miss my piranhas. I got them when they were smaller than a dime. They were all probably a little bigger than these guys. It was always funny to watch them attack stuff way bigger than them. As fun as it was to feed them live stuff, I kind of scaled back because they would get sick alot. I knew they were sick when they would hide. I got pretty good at medicating them and premedicating when feeding them live food. I want to get another tank, but I may go with one large specimen instead of a school. Dont know for sure. Anyways, liked seeing your bunch of piranha.

[@Bearskimethod]

Thank you for watching

[@WillbeSingin]

You catch wild fish with wild bacteria. You introduce wild bacteria into a maintained tank. This is why we don't feed lizards wild food.

[@Bearskimethod]

You are way off.. nature provides all 💪🏻🌎❤️

[@HjonkSolo]

@@Bearskimethod this is a stupid way of thinking. Your pets don’t have harmful bacteria by bringing in wild prey you are literally introducing illness and bacteria that the piranhas don’t have an immunity to. Do some research. Don’t feed wild prey, or if you do quarantine it.

[@Bearskimethod]

@@HjonkSolo no worries.. you wear your mask, even thou it doesn’t work and it’s actually harming you.. but who cares right..

[@HjonkSolo]

@@Bearskimethod who said anything about masks?

[@xcmhx]

I think it's obvious this is an idiot here. We're filming ourselves having captured a wild animal and then presenting it being mutilated in a small glass box by overwhelming numbers of bred-for-captivity predators. I even have sympathy for the pirhana who are stuck in that cage at the mercy of this ding-dong as their caretaker. Someone who maybe hasn't fully realized they themselves will die one day. Think of all the bad thoughts and karma.

[@nathanbyd570]

"No fish were harmed is the filming of this vid" - no, wait. That's not right. Sorry PETA.
