I guess if you are really mean, you could let them all starve and eventually they'll eat each other before you leave. It seems very cruel, though.

Now that would be cruel

But the interesting thing is that they don't eat each other (that I know of at least). When one of mine would pass away, the others left it alone even during periods when they didn't eat.

What I recall, it was because they are inherently wary of each other. That's also why they swim either parallel or perpendicular to each other, so they always know where the other piranha are located.

Then again, that's probably normal for fish that school or swim in a pack.

We actually have a good informational DVD about piranhas. They don't school, they tolerate each other. They are actually scavengers. They usually only eat wounded or dead animals and only eat other things when hungry.

Eat each other?!? We won't let it go like that. We should actually get some good money from a pet store. Piranhas don't live well with others unless they were raised together. All of ours are bros and sis.

Sorry, didn't mean to be so cruel.

After all this talk about how piranhas really don't like each other and only tolerate, I come home and find this:

See the missing chunk of flesh. A perfect half circle.
