An incredibly dangerous type of fish. It is a direct confirmation of the saying “size does not matter”, about 2.5 cm long and 3.5 mm wide, also known as “toothpick fish”. The fish attacks much larger creatures like humans. Vandellia is attracted to urine or blood and from there it extracts its main food source, urea. The fish can easily penetrate the anus, vagina or penis and begin to suck blood, causing incredible pain to the victim. In many cases, amputation is the only remedy for this, which is even more terrifying.
4. Piranha
Remember the movie called Piranha about how little fish attack people? Now we are talking about those very fish. Piranhas are found in South America and Brazil. Like the mustachioed vandellia, the piranha, although small, is very dangerous. They are known for their bite force, they quickly eat their prey to the very bones. As one of the most dangerous fish, they are known for their sharp teeth and powerful jaws. But despite the fact that they are one of the most dangerous in the world, they do not pose a danger to people. Although, several attacks were still recorded. Piranhas can attack people, especially when they are in a stressful situation.

The puffer fish is considered one of the most poisonous fish of our time. Fish have toxic tetrodoxin in their skin, liver, ovaries, and intestines. Tetrodoxin affects the brain and can cause weakness, paralysis and death from even the smallest dose of this poison, making this species one of the most dangerous fish. Most puffer fish are a serious hazard to humans.
2. Box jellyfish
Box jellyfish differ from other members of their family by a more developed nervous system and the presence of a pair of eyes. They have long tentacles and deadly venom. According to scientific data, box jellyfish poison can lead to death in a couple of minutes, and bite marks remain forever.
