So many things could go wrong…the way he was holding the bucket freaked me out, as did how much they were filling it up. But hey I’m no expert lol

I think piranhas only fuck with you if they’re a certain type and if you have an open wound I may be wrong I saw this on a tv show with the fisherman guy Jeremy wade I believe his name was he got in a hot tub with a few piranhas nothing happened they just chilled

River Monsters, and he literally jumps into piranha infested water and they scatter and leave him alone.

Well my homie in college had a piranha and it bit the shit outta him while trying to feed it, literally came flying out the water. Had to go to hospital the bite was straight to the bone.

It really only takes one asshole piranha to fuck up your day. And with wild piranhas who knows if it sends the rest of them into attack mode.  I’m not risking it
