Piranha

Piranha, also known as piranha, is a kind of fish distributed in the Amazon River in South America. There are nearly 56 species of piranha, belonging to CYPRINIDAE. According to their different feeding habits, they can be divided into omnivorous and carnivorous. Carnivorous man-eating pomfret, whose real name is red-bellied Sawray Fat Carp, is a northern Sawray Fat Carp. This fish is 30 centimeters long.

Mainly distributed in the rivers in the Brazilian plain east of the Andes. Besides Amazon River, Cuyaba River and Orinoco River are also its main producing areas. Now it is located in the Amazon river basin of South America, distributed in Argentina and Brazil.

Reproductive status:

During the breeding period, the parent fish will lay eggs in the roots of the water, about 1000. When hatching in 9 ~ 10 days, the parent fish will protect the eggs. River flooding will affect the success rate of hatching. It is difficult for piranha to breed in aquarium, which is also the reason for its high price, which is not as low as that of red-fin pomfret. They are sexually mature at 18 months, and the males will be more colorful.

During the breeding period, eggs will be laid at the roots of water, and the eggs are sticky. You can lay thousands of eggs at a time. The parent fish will protect the eggs, and the fertilized eggs will hatch after 9 ~ 10 days. The flooding of the river will affect the success rate of its reproduction.

Distribution range:

Piranhas are distributed in rivers east of the Andes in south-central South America. Coastal rivers in Brazil and Guyana. Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru and Venezuela all recorded it.
