Piranhas and Giant Kissing Gourami: Feeding Secrets Revealed

Piranhas are primarily found in South American rivers and lakes, while giant gourami fish are native to Southeast Asia. These two species do not naturally coexist in the same habitats. However, if we consider a hypothetical scenario where piranhas encounter giant gourami fish, it's important to note that piranhas are known for their aggressive feeding behavior and sharp teeth.
In such a scenario, if piranhas were to target a giant gourami as prey, they would likely employ their typical hunting strategies.
So in my opinion, there is a 3 types of piranhas attack. Which is :
1. Group Behavior: Piranhas often hunt in schools or shoals. By coordinating their movements and attacking as a group, they create a sense of overwhelming force, making it difficult for the prey to escape.
2. Ambush Tactics: Piranhas may lie in wait, concealed among vegetation or near underwater structures, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once the giant gourami swims within their strike range, they would swiftly attack.
3. Swift Attacks: Piranhas have sharp teeth and powerful jaws, allowing them to deliver quick and forceful bites. They would likely target vulnerable areas of the giant gourami, such as fins or soft tissues.
So what do you think they were using it in this video?
Note : It is worth noting that giant gourami fish can grow to a considerable size and have a robust build, making them less vulnerable to predation by piranhas. Additionally, giant gouramis are omnivorous and can have aggressive behaviors themselves, which could potentially deter piranhas.

KISSING GOURAMI: "You're NOT my Type"
PIRANHA: I'll show you "KISS of DEATH"
🥰🥰

[@piranhasworld]

It will be honoured 👑

[@Ashley-q4n6y]

Truly awesome in some ways , but not for poor fish . No place to go , or hind. But it certainly educational to understand how piranha seem to plan their attack , taking little bites at first , before big feeding frenzy at end .

[@piranhasworld]

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your concern for the fish. The feeding process shown is a natural behavior for piranhas. Also i'm stimulating my piranhas to stay sharp.

[@4exgold]

what was that other small black spotted fish near the end? Some kind of bottom feeder? The piranhas don't go after these kinds of fish or what?

[@piranhasworld]

@@4exgold Hi. It was Pleco, it have strong armored-scales that make piranha not seen it as prey. They've been living together since babies anyway.

[@4exgold]

@@piranhasworld ah ok thx for info 👍

[@piranhasworld]

Anytime..😊

[@4exgold]

@@piranhasworld it's amazing to me that different fish species that grew up together from babies kind of have respect for each other.

[@piranhasworld]

Juvenile piranhas can be quite mischievous! They often bite each other and even nip at different species. 😂 Fortunately, their teeth aren't sharp enough to cause serious harm, so these playful habits don't result in any fatalities. As they mature, this behavior tends to fade away.

[@MarkRockwell-d3u]

they seem to start tearing off bits of the prey's tail. to slow it down?

[@piranhasworld]

Yes. You can see my another video for full hunt tactics of piranhas 😊

Most small Predatorial fishes do that so the Prey cannot Swim away

In Asia's, this is a feng shui fish that brings good luck and prosperity and protections to keeper, rather responsive to keepers.
Is not a kissing gourami .direct translate " red canons ship"🎉 aka red tail gaint gourami...

[@piranhasworld]

It's a Osphronemus goramy Lac. In some country in Asia (i believe continent you came from) this species of gourami are bred and raised for huge scale human consumption. Thanks for watching!

[@piranhakeeper4615]

Put an alligator gar

Je mag dat niet doen geef een muis ofzo wel een dooie muis

[@harrybarry2291]

Dam cool, thanks. When the Gourami first entered the tank, he thought all was good. He may have said, "you guys have a nice home, I am glad to join you". Shortly after he thought, whoa, the guys are nipping at my fins, probably just an initiation. Soon later he thought, hey guys chill out, you are getting a little rough. The rest is history.

[@piranhasworld]

I thought it was an eductaional comments 😄😄

[@davjay69]

Stick a Caiman in there and make it interesting. 😄
