Donating to the museum[edit]
In themuseum, the piranha appears in the bottom right tank (Animal Crossing), middle tank (Wild World), or the right tank (City Folk), where it will bash against the walls of the tank in an attempt to reach the player, although this depiction of piranha is inaccurate. InNew Horizons, the piranha is in the first room in a large tank, and will charge the tank as well as sometimes follow the player.

Real-world information[edit]
The red-bellied piranha has a reputation one of the most ferocious fish, but this is a widespread myth perpetuated by the media. In reality, they are scavengers that are easily scared. Live-feedings for captive piranha are also unhealthy for them, which again, is falsified in the media. They can be aggressive, but only when they are deprived of food. Red-bellied piranhas can be found in theAmazon River. They grow to about 33 cm and weigh 3 1/2 kilograms.
