Large number of Tilapias are alreay a threat to our existing fishes plus these piranhas are going to make situation worst.

Government has to take some necessary steps to control the breeding of such fishes and ensure a balanced eco system.

Hi

This is Piranha, you'll find them in E Godavari district and many of our streams. These fishes had invaded our waters. They come from African waters, bred by fishermen in Godavari district. They call it "Roop Chand".
