Did you know piranhas can make sounds? 👀

Red-bellied piranhas actually communicate by producing noises using their swim bladder—often described as soft grunts or croaks. It’s one of the ways they interact with each other, especially in groups.

A side of piranhas you don’t... usually hear about 🎧 #NatureIsCurious #cleaquarium
