02/09/2011 - Congratulations to Yener Alkay a member of www.piranhalar.com for successfully breeding Pygocentrus cariba.
03/27/2011 - UPDATE According to the Administrator of www.piranhalar.com the so-called cariba breeding above IS questionable and no further information has been forthcoming. Until the hobbyist/breeder produces strong proof, I must at this time remove links to that page. My apologies to all who took this spawning operation as fact.
04/20/2011 - Congratulations to Steve Huskey, Jorge Porto and Guillermo Orti for the upcoming National Geographic special on mega-piranha (May 3, 2011).

09/28/ /2011 - OPEFE has updated information and is presently reviewing descriptions on certain species. Included will be spell check and other typographical errors. Please be patient while the changes continue.
06/19/2011 - Recently we had an issue with copyright violation from a UK hobbyist forum dealing with piranhas (not the sponsored site). The image violation was the one described above in "Photos". Please people, if you are a true hobbyist and participating in piranha forums, don't be irresponsible and violate copyrighted images. Ask permission first. Don't be a thief.
