How to Kill Piranhas

For years, piranhas have fascinated many with their ferocious behavior. This, alongside the fact that they are incredibly hardy, have made them a popular fish in the pet trade. Although warm-climate U.S. states do not allow piranha ownership, they are legal in some. Sadly, piranha owners oftentimes become bored with the fish as piranha are typically shy unless feeding them live food. The urge to release them back into the wild is tempting, although it must not be done. If you have tired of your piranha, you will need to humanely euthanize it.
