One of the largest piranhas in the world, which as adults inhabit the main channels of larger rivers.
When young, they are solitary fish that sometimes enter smaller creeks where they spend their time stalking larger fish.
They hide under sunken tree trunks waiting for a larger fish to swim overhead, striking from underneath, and biting their anal fin or the bottom of their caudal fin (pterygophagy).
As Redeye Piranhas swim around, most of the fish recognize them and swim away before they get bitten. So, another strategy they use is to swim around getting behind every fish until they find one that does not recognize them, then they bite their fins.
Photographing them is a challenge due to their shy nature and the fact that they lurk in the dark.
