Piranha niche in nature

Shred Revolution · Jun 2, 2003

All animals in nature are said to have a purpose and occupy a organism niche. What niche in nature do Piranha's occupy in the wild ? Are they just predatory creatures that devour the dead animals in the water ? or are they something more complicated than that ? Has anyone put some thought into this issue prior to reading this post ? I would like to know if anyone has any ideas on this. Thanks.

I think this may be true. I would think that P's are more scavenger in the wild then hard core killer.

(please correct me if im wrong, as I may be)

I also agree, the only difference is that in our tanks they have no other option. THEY KILL!
