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.

@@Bearskimethod may need to go smaller amount more frequent to keep nitrates down. When my fish are hanging near the top it’s usually high nitrates in my tank. Good looking fish dude!

Sweet bunch ya got there . I used to have eight of then from juvenile to a full grown . And they are remarkable . I seen someone put a red guilt in a tank and it was a show . I was living in Seattle . Its interesting when a large coy get in the mix 👍🏽

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]

@@tylerhill9510 They do feel pain, and some even feel emotions.

You know this to be absolute fact how?

[@Raffioc]

Nice tanks !! I have raised piranhas for a few years and have never seen reactions like this from overfeeding. Plus this fish wasn't that big! It was just not edible

[@Bearskimethod]

The canister filter malfunctioned

[@rickwalbu]

A savage fish to raise just for your enjoyment.

[@Bearskimethod]

Indeed

[@MrDBarch]

WHAT keeps the piranha from going after one another in the same way??

[@rickemon1]

if there is no food available piranhas cannibalize each other but piranhas arn't apex predictors in there natural habitats there are many animals that will take the opportunity to eat them so them acting in schools/packs in an instinctive behavior.

[@Bearskimethod]

Thank you

[@stugtodd2778]

There's definitely got to be some pollution issues with your Piranha's food/prey

[@Bearskimethod]

🤔

[@Bearskimethod]

You were right 💪🏻

[@qrptedmac]

So how is it that the piranha don’t attack each other? How do they know the bluegill is not one of them?

[@Bearskimethod]

Pack order

@TrashMedia ForWorthlessHumans ok trashmedia 🙄

[@Muzzleblast-1911]

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

[@Toekneepowers]

I like the viscous attack style from the one on the right.

[@Smitty1Werbenjägermanjensen]

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.

[@garettsuperloser804]

Try covering a side of the tank from observation, like 1/3 , If they favor that area & become more stable, then your problem is too much exposure to humans & light...

HOW IS IT STILL ALIVE AFTER MOST OF ITS BODY IS GONE?!?!

[@brothermeatius5161]

@Mikayla Droz ohh I see thank you for the information :)

[@xcmhx]

Most likely the brain and central nervous system is still active. This animal most likely is aware of what happened, what is going on, and has some type of pain response yet it no longer has a body so there it lays until it's eventual death. An animal ripped from its wild habitat and shucked into a cage without a chance for escape aurrounded by a large number of bred for captivity predators trying to murder it. No wonder this world is screwed when there are "higher beings" who find this entertaining and somehow justified. Wake up!

[@xcmhx]

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.

[@xcmhx]

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.

[@xcmhx]

@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.

[@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.

[@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.
