Are piranhas found in Hawaii?

Red-bellied piranha in Lake Wilson. In the early 1990s, a Windward resident went freshwater fishing in Wahiawa's Lake Wilson and caught an omnivorous red-bellied piranha. These are the sort with a reputation of being able to ferociously tear apart humans or cattle in seconds, the type of piranha you see in B-movies.
