Just when you thought it was safe, etc.

Was dumped there, probably by someone that didn't want it anymore. Not breading here luckily, can fish cross breed like dogs?

Imagine a cross between a goldfish and a piranha

[Laurel Green]

'Tis a wonder no one took a snap of it.

[TheEnd]

Hmm, that's a bit fishy...

[Ayahuasca]

How do you know how many were dumped..? Unlikely anyone would own just one solitary piranha. They can breed like wildfire and there is the whole summer ahead...

[Laurel Green]

There's an easy way to find out. A bloody piece of meat on the end of the hook and, if there are any more in the lake, ones float will soon be twitching.

[Shaw Tarse]

Is the story true?
Ah go on I'll bight!

[Laurel Green]

Well I fell for the article hook-line-and-sinker.

10 inch long apparently - thought it was going to be a 2 metre beast.

I thought it looked massive until I noticed the wooden post it's lying on!
Still looks like a properly ugly fish though.

Anyone for a paddle?

[Huff]

eeek! teeth in that thing! WTF is it?

Poisonous fish on dives I can deal with, but deathawaiting with pointy teeth is the stuff of 4am wakeups.

It's a huuuuge Piranha (I think).

ETA: Think I'm a tad late on this one.
