Hi mik34,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, pirhanna do swim in schools.

Piranha increase 'due to dams'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3346301.stm

"Over the years, numerous stories of people being attacked and eaten
by ferocious schools of piranhas have surfaced.

The authors of this paper claim there is little scientific evidence to
support such behaviour.

They say at least three of the people supposedly killed by schools of
piranhas actually died from heart failure or drowning and were only
feasted on by the creatures after they expired."

Best regards,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirahna  says differently.  I have always seen it as piranha.

Yes, I saw the correct spelling after I posted the comment.  At any
rate, they do swim in schools.
