Answer 2

There is a fish called the candiru catfish, found in South American rivers that is attracted to urea produced from other fish's gills. Urea is also found in human urine.

Learned this in Biology class. Quite scary. Lesson: Don't pee in rivers.
I think they should use these fish to keep people from peeing in public pools. Just a suggestion :)
