    This looks like a tigerfish, which is native to Africa.

    I owned a piranha for a while. It was full grown and was no bigger than a decent sized bluegill. Sure was a lot of fun placing bets on which goldfish it would eat first.

    Always wanted to get another one, but after seeing that fish, all I can say is…..are they legal to import?

    Red Breasted Piranhas can be bought at most higher end fish stores.

    Just think about the cost of feeding it. What would you feed a pet like that anyways
