There are 35 species of piranhas, but only about half are carnivorous.  The red bellied piranha is the most notorious of all piranha species, having achieved mythical status as swarming, mindless, flesh-tearing Amazonian monsters.  Much of their reputation is sensationalized media hype.

Visit Piranha Fury's website if you are interested in keeping and/or breeding the red bellied piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri).  Make sure to first check if it is legal to own red bellied piranha in your state or country.
