they r not as bad as they look. the purpose of the fangs r to injured n maybe have a good grip of their prey. they swallow their prey whole. they dont chew off chunks of meat fr any bigger creatures.

there is many misconception about the characteristics of such "dangerous" looking fishes.

the same goes for pirahnas.

in fact, most of them r pretty safe. the owners just have to know what not to do n he/she will b very safe fr any injuries.

there r many ppl in other countries keeping them n r still very safe fr their pets.
