Amazon Fish Swims Up Urethra. The candiru fish (vandellia cirrhosa) is a small catfish purported to enter the, ahem, intimate orifices of unfortunate people who urinate into. Perhaps, it is a case of “entry by mistake”? In other words, once the source of the smell is located, it is said that the fish swims up through the stream of urine coming from the urethra and heads into the organism's. The report also has the fish being attracted to urine. For almost 200 years, the candiru fish and its ability to invade the urethra gained the status of an urban legend among amazonian. The fish that is reported as the source was much too large (11.5mm in diameter!) to enter the urethra of the patient, and the report has it jumping out of the water, or swimming up the stream, as it were. The size of the fish certainly allows its accommodation in a urethra. Doing so invites the risk that this slender catfish might be attracted by the urea and ammonia and immediately travel up the urethra, which it may mistake for the gill of some.
