The mouth doing the breathing motions is the same as a lizard tail moving after the lizard losing it. The fish head has no nerve inputs, blood supply or oxygen. Probably brain dead in less than a minute of losing the heart and respitory parts, especially being in shock and panic burns oxygen faster.

My father is from the Amazon, in Brazil, and when he was a teenager, while he was swimming with his friends in the river, he got bitten on his leg by a piranha. He's 77 now and you still can see the scar. He said it hurt a lot.

In these cases it is in these equations exist, but you so deny you say because you human and above it. We are not omitted from this possibility because we are human. When a human is being torn apart by whatever means it is no different from this fish regarding pain, shock, horror, and helplessness until the body finally succumbs to death, the experience to the victim whether an animal or human it must be terrible as the victim to go through the whole ordeal until death.

Wild caught fish will have all kinds of strange stuff in their tissues, especially the liver and digestive tract, but all through their bodies. They can and will have herbicides, fertilizers (odd, isn't it?), pesticides, insecticides, and whatever other pollutants we put into our waterways nowadays.

Amazing video! I used to study baby, juvenile, and adult piranhas feeding…. Have you noticed there’s an order? The larger and if same size, more dominant fish go first while the others wait. Then one by one they take their turns. If you have adults with juveniles, the juveniles will wait close by for the adults to all get their turns. Then the adults switch places with the juveniles one by one as they feed. Very interesting and kind of beautiful if you think of how organized their packs can be. Love the video my friend.

Most likely the brain and central nervous system is still active. This animal most likely is aware of what happened, what is going on, and has some type of pain response yet it no longer has a body so there it lays until it's eventual death. An animal ripped from its wild habitat and shucked into a cage without a chance for escape aurrounded by a large number of bred for captivity predators trying to murder it. No wonder this world is screwed when there are "higher beings" who find this entertaining and somehow justified. Wake up!

How exactly do you know what another animal "feels"? Based on someone else's studies or science? You'll never really know. That is the only truth. You regurgitate information you've read or seen but you don't know for sure. Not yet anyway. So when you are trapped in basement by another human being and they cut off your head and you watch them and others feed on your body only then will you know for sure. I for one do not want any part of that moment or experience and would not wish it on any other living creature. This animal was trapped, not naturally, by a human in a small glass box. That is unnatural. Nature doesn't put itself in a box with no escape option. In the wild this bluegill would never encounter pirhana and it may outlive all other predators around it including pike because in its genes may be a great ability to avoid predation. It may have lived to die of old age having bred thousands of times but its life was cut miserably short by a neanderthal looking to entertain itself for 5 minutes watching a creature suffer while trapped in a mechanically produced death trap. I'm all for survival of the fittest but in this situation there is no chance at all and everything has been fabricated. If you were put in this "natural" situation and mauled by cannibals I don't believe you would feel anything natural about it.

You want to put yourself on a pedestal above all other creations and look at yourself from an outside view. You think in the most logical way yet you seem to fail to understand that even for the mighty "you" one day the curtains will close on your theatre. This experience that is your life will end in some time and you alone get to experience your own death. It may happen suddenly when you are walking down the street and get struck by a fast moving wayward object that destroys your brain in an instant. One minute you are here with your feelings, thoughts, and memories and then in an instant it will all be gone for you. Like turning off a television forever. It may happen as you lay in a bed gasping for air alone in a hospital room as your lungs fail you. Maybe someone rushes to your side but there will be no way back for you. There is no rewind, no save, no re-do. All your choices and decisions will have led you to that moment of your demise. My point is that we should all respect life. Let nature do what nature does... in nature! If we interject our control over life we are playing God and tampering with powers out of our comprehension. Life is precious. As far as we know we only get one. We are given great power over other living things but that comes with great responsibility. You've surely heard all of this before but yet you don't understand. Go visit a live volcano. Take a trip outside the atmosphere. Go deep sea diving. This world is more beautiful and powerful than us yet we continue to try and find ways to destroy it bit by bit all while rationalizing our bad behavior. I really hope you take the time to ponder on all of this. If you are an attractive young woman you are blessed but you should be careful in this world. There are enough people out there jealous of life's beauty who wish to see it obliterated. Don't join in with that crowd because it seems cool or logical. Follow your heart and respect all forms of life and may your life end peacefully when you are prepared for it.

I would like to discuss this more in private as the topic has gone way deeper than the life of a fish. You mention the big crash... I would like to learn more about what you "think" you know of this. xcmhx(at)ymail(dot)com I bet you only know a fraction of life and reality! I look forward to further discussion through email. Thanks.

Amazing..thank you and very interesting. They eat fast!

That's a beautiful tank! How many gallons?

This is crazy because blue gills are considered the North American piranha

The bluegill died around the time it's abdomen was eaten. You were just seeing it's nervous system still functioning. Also you should be very careful feeding wild caught fish, they can have parasites and pollution contaminants in their bodies that the piranha couldn't handle.

@@Luqu3. don't be so arrogant. You don't need to be an expert to know that bluegills often come from nasty water and that freshwater fish often carry disease. Also scientific discoveries are often made or observed by everyday folks which are then further explored by scientists to confirm the fact.

Now I really want a piranha and arapaima interaction. They can’t bite through it’s scales so I think it would be interesting to see if they try to anyway or would they already know and keep their distance.

I'm sure an araipaima would eat them. They're incredibly fast and strong fish. It wouldn't be a good idea to put them together if you want to keep the piranha araipaima are endangered. I hope the fish are OK now after being sick.

What size is this tank? Looks large.

Yes, it happens in the Nature. But, at Home is not Nature. It's not necessary to let an Animal die painful and slow like this poor Fish! I also had Piranhas and fed them with Dog-Food! This is a good Way and the Piranhas stay healthy!

Piranha wins every time

This is similarly simulates what happens when people let go of ‘pets’ in areas they would be considered to be ‘invasive.’ The native species have no real defense for the shock of the sudden introduction to a new predator, the native species finds itself in more and more flight or fight situations until their numbers are easily decimated and drastically reduced. Without the sudden introduction it wouldn’t be a shock as it takes lots of time for nature to overlap and acclimate to natural changes in the conditions of the environment. Humans tend to not respect this or act as if completely oblivious due to their lack of awareness. Could you imagine blue gill, bass, gar, and red belly piranha acclimating to one another naturally in the wild and what impact that would have on them from their defense mechanisms to how they how hunt, hide, and even how they look? Bluegill would undoubtedly have to become tougher more aggressive fish to not be hunted into total extinction.

Imagine if that blue gill is a human . What kind of pain tolerance is that .

Tolerance? Tolerance means you can take it. The bluegill didn’t have a choice. Like if you do something I hate and I don’t respond… that would be me tolerating it.

I miss my piranhas. I got them when they were smaller than a dime. They were all probably a little bigger than these guys. It was always funny to watch them attack stuff way bigger than them. As fun as it was to feed them live stuff, I kind of scaled back because they would get sick alot. I knew they were sick when they would hide. I got pretty good at medicating them and premedicating when feeding them live food. I want to get another tank, but I may go with one large specimen instead of a school. Dont know for sure. Anyways, liked seeing your bunch of piranha.

Damn it is almost cartoonish the way they devour their food.

So how is it that the piranha don’t attack each other? How do they know the bluegill is not one of them?

Yeah, maybe this was the most humane way this guy could think of to feed his piranha.

Although it is fascinating to see piranhas hunting prey I just feel so bad for the bluegill. You can't kill it and drop it in the tank? And I'm not judging I don't know much about fish or anything I'm just simply asking I'm not trying to like start a fight or anything. I just couldn't imagine being eaten alive and half my body gone and still be alive. Just wondering.

This isn't hunting! There's no chance for this animal to escape it is just trapped. Have at least some respect for life and living things. That animal went through complete misery and it was brought on by your unnatural actions. In the wild that animal could have escaped but your small little glass box prevented that. I seen absolutely nothing natural here.
