Piranhas are scavengers. The typical diet of red-bellied piranhas includes insects, worms, crustaceans, and fish.[13] In packs up to hundreds, piranhas have been known to feed on animals as large as egrets or capybara. Despite the piranha's reputation as a dangerous carnivore, it is actually primarily a scavenger and forager, and will mainly eat plants and insects during the rainy season when food is abundant. ~ Wikipedia.
