Fabulous Pets #2
Candirú or
Vampire Fish
We would find our next Fabulous Pet in the Amazon River. The Amazon River is choking with exotic wildlife, such as the freshwater pink dolphin, manatee's, and anacondas. Resembling a tiny eel, the candiru is typically 2 inches in length, but feels like 20ft of pure terror! Candiru are constantly tasting the water, trying to find water coming out of the gills of other fish. Once detected, they swim inside to feast on the blood of the larger fish. However, when humans enter their habitat, and are as foolish as to pee, the candiru famously tastes the chemicals in the urine (some of which are similar to the chemicals coming out of the gills of other fish) they trace it back to the human and swim into their anus, where they burrow into the urinary tract. It then extends spikes from its spines to remain lodged in there. Even if you were to find it and pull on its tail, you would not be able to remove it. The Candiru will now begin to feed on your blood, and as a consequence, grow in size. This is often fatal. One common option is Penectomy. It is said if you drink the juice from the fruit of the Jagua tree, you will disolve the candiru.
