That's right guys. You may want to be careful if you go swimming in Sweden. It's not that these fish are pirahna. They're just relatives! That's right, relatives of pirahnas.
And it seems that they are not flesh eaters by nature. They eat vegetation and other things that fall into the water off of trees. Likes berries and ... nuts.
So these nuts are floating around in the water and these fish with big teeth like to eat them. Any kind of floating nuts. Keep those swim trunk pant legs tight boys.
So you say you're not going to Sweden. Well I can fix that. Seems that someone dumped some in a lake in the USA. The name of the lake? Well it's in the video that's in the story HERE about the pacu.
And theeeeennnnnnn what do I find? A 'don't worry about them' article from National Geographic. So don't worry about their powerful jaws that can crack nuts.

Only you, Mike, would have the balls to publish a post like that.
They look scary. Definitely takes thesereneness out of skinny-dipping for guys.
They're not likely to last in cold waters, but there's the odd one that may appear.
Bilbo - I have them for now.
Angel - I didn't think about skinny dipping. That could become really interesting.
Grand - I guess those people in Illinois are going to find out.
I read this to Rick and he said, "what lake?" all in a panic. I told him Smith Mountain Lake where we will be next weekend. The look on his face was priceless. Thank you Mike!!
Peg - If people keep releasing their pet fish it could be true.
