Do piranha live in the Philippines?

Yes, some piranha species are present in the Philippines. While piranhas are native to South America, there have been instances of their introduction to other regions, including the Philippines. One notable species found in the Philippines is the red-bellied piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri). However, it's important to note that the Philippine government restricts the importation and possession of certain fish species, including piranhas, without proper permits or authorization.
