Ne pirmā reize, ne pēdīgā. Piraņa jau nav tas bīstamākais lops cilvēkam, wot, ja kāds pidars ielaistu mazu zivteli, vārdā "kandiru", wot, tas būtu pizģec.

Species proposed for introduction to the South Pacific for domestic security

Several South American fishes have life history characteristics that recommend them for use in domestic security.

The first of these is the Piranha (Serrasalmus rhombeus) (Figure 1). This inhabitant of the Amazon is renowned for its extreme ferocity and Piranhas can be driven in to a feeding frenzy within seconds through the scent of blood in the surrounding water. Although not large (maximum size @ 35 cm) the Piranhas possess extraordinarily powerful and sharp dentition and in schools can overwhelm and skeletonise a large animal in minutes.

The second is the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) (Figure 1), which is a large (@ 2.5 m) fish, capable of rendering a powerful electric shock that will stun or even kill a large mammal. The electric shock is generated from specially modified muscle tissue, which comprises about half the somatic tissue of the electric eel. The electric eel generates a pulse of electricity lasting only about one second but may be as high as 1.0 Ampere and 500 volts, sufficient to severely shock a human being. Schools of electric eels can easily render unconscious large mammals such as deer, horses, peccaries and capybara, following which they can be consumed.

The third is a small (~ 2.5 cm) parasitic fish from the Amazon, the Candiru (Vandiella cirrhosa) (Figure 1). This tiny catfish lives mainly on the blood of other fishes. They attach themselves to the gills and will force their way into body apertures, such as the urethra, where they bite into the tissue and consume blood from the lesion. They are sensitive to urine and uric acid and will follow the trail of persons relieving themselves in rivers and enter the urethra. When they swim into the urethra of humans, it can be difficult to pull the fish out by the tail because the umbrella-like spines near the head may extend and prevent its removal. Forced extraction may cause lacerations of the urethral mucus membranes, which has caused death by haemorrhaging. Remedies have ranged from penile amputation and suprapubic cystotomy to application of native herbs that softens the spines of the Candiru so that it can be removed without trauma
