They are parasites that attach themselves to aquatic species and feed on their blood. But, they also attach themselves to humans (usually into the vagina, penis, or anus). They smell your pee, so if you REALLY want to swim in a tropical area, DON'T PEE!!!! isn't the candira (also called a toothpick fish) small?

The flesh of the Tiger is considered equal to that of any fresh water fish but unfortunately, especially in the smaller specimens, is full of bones. An 8lb upwards fish - filleted very carefully will make a relatively passable meal. Pickled Tigerfish is considered to be a delicacy and is probably the best way of preparing the fish.
