[piranharowana]

:eek: yesterday i put the manny and elong together with the tern and piraya, they still ok, the piranya and the tern haven't attack them, i think they can live together :naughty:

[piranharowana]

so anyone can teach me how to make them don't be shy??

[piranharowana]

this is my manny and ternand one don't know what is this~~

[Recycling Works]

Mine are always shy, but heres what ive heard, start them out as fry with nothin in the tank, no place to hide, that way they are not as shy, also anytime you walk up to the tank feed them, so they are used to coming up to you as you are lookin in there

i dont know though, i think p's are just instinctivly shy

[piranharowana]

thanj you very much, because i put some plant and wood inside the tank, so they always stay behind that...

[mainy999]

Niiice fish. Gotta love the P's :clap :clap

[DontGoInTheWater]

First off!! badbad bad idea for mixing your serras and pygos together .. it WILL always end up in the long run with death!!!

one of you fish there also looks like a wolf fish...

[Colby]

I don’t have any
but if I did

[piranharowana]

:WHOA: really??are they can't keep together?? but they just swim together and nothing happen.....i hope they can live together, because i haven't enough taank to keep many kind of the piranha, and i found one of the geryi in hk about 9", it cost $1800 hkd, i also want to buy it because he always want to bit my finger between the glass :drool: , but i haven't another tank to keep that :(

[piranharowana]

mr, dontgointhewater, what is wolffish??is he will grow very big??and can he keep with piranha??because this fish was my friend gave me..

[Calgone]

so anyone can teach me how to make them don't be shy??

Try to make a habit of walking by them often. When you feed them... make your presence known.... and watch them for awhile. The more they recognize that you are as much as a part of the tank as they are, they will become less frightened when people are near. Get them used to light as well by keeping it on as much as the light allows.

I'm not sure about taking away all of their hiding places... I don't know if it would over stress the fish... but you should be able to get them comfortable by just letting them know you are there often. It will take awhile.

[piranharowana]

thank you very much u guys, tonihgt i'm very upset because my wolf fish jumped from the tank when i went for dinner and then my dog ate him :cry:

[shmeva_riles_7]

Nice pics!!

[piranharowana]

:woot: thx a lot~~now my 40" tank only keep the diamond black, another 40" tank keep the P series, and the 20" tank keep the small rhom~~

[predatorpassion]

that wolffish was a erythrinus erythrinus aka red high-fin wolffish and if it was bigger then your pirahnas probably would have eaten or killed them....they (not this specific species) but wolffish eat pirahnas in the wild...

[tenzokenny]

wow looks nice

[arapaima829]

nice fish!
:thumbsup:

My red belly has the personality of a oscar, its the only piranah ive ever seen act like this, kinda weirds me out

[piranharowana]

:cry: if u guys said this one was a special one, i'll feel more upset~~but is this a special wolffish??

[Calgone]

my little rhom still very shy when i'm turn on the light, so should i turn off the light orkeep it on??

You wont get progress quick. Leave the light on... give him some time to get used to it. It might take a couple of weeks... it might take a couple of months. Just don't burn your bulb.

[Colby]

Tight

[piranharowana]

:naughty: thanks a lot man~~u guys will suggest i put one big pleco together with the black diamond??because i want him to help tp clean the tank....

[piranharowana]

my little rhom will swim to outside for a short time now :naughty: , but still shy, when i feed the goldfish to him, i need to leave for a while and he will eat that, if i lookink at him, he will not come out....what should i do?? :(

[suckerfish]

is it just me or do i see blood all over this. at least the wolf died in peace and not torn to shredds. do you have more than 1 tank or do you like to watch your pets die? damn dude, i've never even had P's, but even i know you don't mix these fish. oh well each to thier own. yes wolf fish eat P's, but red high fin only get 6-10"s. :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :screwy:

[matty]

There's no easy way to say this but what you are doing is wrong. Most of those fish are going to end up dead at some point. Most likely the only reason they haven't started eating each other already is because they are frightened. Trust me you need to house the serras separately and alone and even the pygos together is a risk. If you don't have the tank space I suggest getting rid of the elong and manny and giving the pygos a try but honestly if you leave all those fish together it will end in tears if not tomorrow then soon :uhoh:
Oh and the elong looks like it has a wound or some bad ammonia burn on it's lower jaw was it like that when you bought it?

[Calgone]

Imagine as though you had a prison with no cells... no guards... just a big gymnasium full of killers and locked doors.

[piranharowana]

nonono, i seperate them already, the wolffish and the diamond black are together in one tank but i use one plastic bpoard to seperate them. but the wolf fish just jumping out from the fish tank~~~and my dog ate him!!
And the elong is not the amonia,he always hit the glass so he become like that... :naughty:

[piranharowana]

hihi, everybody, i think i'll buy a new tank, u guys think that about 70" is enough for how many piranha??

[rumblesushi]

well the point is that your serrasalmus species need to be kept ALONE, 1 tank for each rhom, one tank for the manueli, one tank for the elong.

Then maybe your 2 pygos can be kept together, if you feed them regularly.

Your wolf wasan ery ery, and this one is harder to get than a common wolf (hoplias mal). It doesn't grow that big, but probably would have killed one of your piranhas if a P took a nip at it or something.

[piranharowana]

i know i know, now i seperate the manuili already, but the piraya , ternetzi, rd belli still together , but nothind happen, i think is ok~~ :naughty: and the wolffish, i seperate them already b4, but i think he want to eat the fish and then jumping from the tank... :cry:

[piranharowana]

hello all guys, i find another wolffish in hk, yhat's very common :naughty: because my fan said it is not difficult to find that kind of fish~~

[SiestaSkyy]

see to compat them being shy I just sup a ton of places to hide. when i come in the room they all dart in there but they always come out 2 min later. they know if i do anything they have somewhere to go. so I would say give them to many places to hide. it makes them feel safe. stress free.

[CrypticSins]

cool fish man, I also have an Elong, so let me ask you, if you feed yours feeder fish does your elong always bite the tail off the fish and then let it swim around with no tail for a few hours before eating it? mine does on EVERY fish I put in there... :screwy:

[SiestaSkyy]

elongs are kinda known for that. my fish just shred um.

[ole]

the manueli :headbang2

[ClubRSX]

[piranharowana]

Nice fish, I have 7 baby rbps right now and am thinking about starting up another tank for an elong. Would be awesome to have more than one tank full of piranhas.
