&gt;It didn't.  Ever.  Instead it would eat *almost* all the guppies and
&gt;leave 5 or 6 alive.  Over the succeeding weeks and months those few
&gt;would breed and repopulate the school back to their former numbers. 
&gt;The Pirahna would then go on a guppy binge and eat *almost* all of
&gt;them.  This repeated, again and again and again, year after year.  The
&gt;Pirahna go big and fat.  The guppies gradually bred for speed and
&gt;agility, but never eluded decimation.
&gt;
&gt;I see Wizards in MUDs quite similarly even if the weapons are
&gt;different.

Hmm...  I'd argue that this in fact supports my original contetnion.. that
true power brings responsability.

That fish was VERY responsible in his "shephearding" of the guppies in
order to insure a food supply.

Motivations are, to a  degree, irellevent.  Those who have great power and
little responsibility can quickly foul their own space and  kill themselves...
