Could you classify 3 piranhas as being deadly? To a gold fish, sure, but to a human?

Wanna try dipping your hand in the tank?

:Q

PSA: Don't try this at home!

don't have any pics of them jumping, but I do have pics of the fish. They can take a pretty good hunk out of your flesh if they so desire. My biggest could take off your pinky I bet. As long as they're well fed I can put my hands in the tank to fix stuff, but if they aren't well fed they can get nippy. Never been bitten so far, but I have come pretty close! Pics on the way.

I feed them goldfish or guppies depending on their size. I currently have 400 goldfish separated into two 55-gallon tanks. One of my piranhas isn't pictured there because he's too hard to get pics of (just ask Gerbil 333). There are also pics of my three snakeheads in that gallery. They're better eaters than the piranhas are!

had a volitans lionfish for about three years, but he was floating upside down when I got back from vacation one day, so I am down to my yellow tang, lunare wrasse, maroon clown and a few damsels in my 55 gal tank now...

never stung me, but heard it would have been pretty painful...
