Will piranhas attack if it doesn't smell blood?

Piranhas are generally not aggressive unless provoked or in certain situations, such as during feeding frenzies. While they are known for their sharp teeth and strong bite, they typically do not attack unless they sense a threat or are hungry. The presence of blood can trigger a feeding response, but they may also bite if they feel threatened or if they are in a competitive environment. Overall, piranhas are more likely to avoid confrontation unless they are motivated by hunger or stress.
