i think crocodile will win as it can escape to land .... if the shark lets it. although it depends on which shark it is, if its a great white shark or a tiger shark, they can win lol
 
oh man they chased down that poor fishy forever. i think he gave a brave fight ..... 10 on 1?? cmon

but he did get pwned in vid 2 🙁
 
can I ask you how you clean that tank?

Do you have to enclose them on one side or something?
Or do you use equipment to do it without sticking in your
hand?

just curious....I've kept fish for many years but never piranha..illegal here.

it's not that bad... i normally feed them every other day. I mainly feed them smelt.. they sell it cleaned, cut and ready at 99ranch for $2/pound.. 4 pounds last the whole month, so food is 8 bucks a month.. not too bad 😀

all i really need to do is feed them every other day, and change about 20% of the water 2 times a week... and then wash out the filters every 2 months.. not that bad! i'd say about 30 minutes total per week used for maintaining it
 
That was fascinating, watching the video of the koi. They worked together to rip off its rear fin (tail fin? I'm not too familiar with anatomical terminology of fish) so it could hardly swim, and then herded it into a corner where they bit off chunks. That was totally wow.
 
Hrm... from the Piranha forums that keep being linked to, it appears your red-bellied piranhas have quite the reputation for being yellow-bellies 😛
