If you eat them before they eat you, you will have a great time. I tell you: they are de-li-cious. The red-eyed piranhas, in Spanish caribe pinche, in scientific lingo Serrasalmus rhombeus, are one of the many species of piranhas I talked about earlier. You can find them in the Orinoco River or in the Negro River or some other rivers of the Orinoco basin. Humboldt tried them as well.
I honestly don't know how their stocks are doing these days. I looked for the information in some sites of endangered species but found no warning or anything.
I hope
More on this species here. That is a good site to find out about all kinds of fish.
PS: I am adding a new feature, the Users' reactions bar. I have over 140 unique visitors every day by now, sometimes more, but still I would like to have more feedback from them to improve this blog. I would be very thankful if you go through a couple of posts and rank them.
Thanks
I hope
- they have not much mercury now in spite of all the illegal mining going on
- their stocks don't suffer from the export as aquarium fish...in fact, I hope export for aquarium purposes be prohibited and the export for the food industry be regulated to guarantee sustainability. Eat them on the spot or leave them!
