How does a piranha breathe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The king cobra breathes by it's lungs.The air passes from its nasal orifice through trachea to longer left lung.(The smaller right lung is rudimentary one.).The lung has become longer owing to its body shape.Thus storing a greater volume of air the snake could hold its breath for a long time while swallowing a prey.On the other hand as the snakes are cold blooded their body metabolism is very less requiring less amount of air and that too in greater intervals.

Can you put dragon fish in with piranha?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Piranhas are tropical fish, so yes. However, there are other fish you can keep them with as well. Just what depends on the species of piranha.

Note that most species of piranha that are suitable for aquariums will see all other fish as food, so if you put other fish in the aquarium with them they will proceed to dine on the food you so kindly provided.

What do piranhas taste like?

Asked by Wiki User

Piranha's have a very meaty taste. They are actually quite tasty. I would almost relate the taste to the fat off a ribeye steak, however it is still soft and flakey as most any other fish. The only problem with them is that they are quite boney.
