My collection, 56k beware

[eng55]

Its been a while since I have posted pics of my piranhas on here so I thought I would post a few as my collection has grown in the past few months. I still have my reds, picked up a sanchezi last july, an elong in october, and my xingu I got a couple of weeks ago.
Enjoy

Nice looking red bellies you have there :)

[Pfisherman]

I love the xingu, and the elong is awesome!:) Fab reds, but I think you need a few more filters in that tank!!!:)

[Big Roc]

Thats a nice collection you got:nilly:, too bad your sanchezi is a wuss... those usually are the insane ones. Also just wondering where you got your Xingu from, kinda looks like an Altuvie. To where Xingus have a yellow gill coating and aren't that silverish, and Altuvies have a red gill coating and have that dark humeral spot, exactly like the specimen in your pic. Regardless it's still a bad ass P.

Nice collection and that is one fine looking Xingu.

nice school of RBs what type of cichlid is that in the last picture. How long has he survived in there? What do you feed you RBs?

[eng55]

Hey big roc I got my xingu from pedro at aquascape. Sorry didnt order my ps from u guys for a change. I got the sanchezi from you guys though. The cichlid in the reds tank was I repeat was a convict but got eaten shortly after being put in the tank. I feed my reds a balanced diet of tilapia filets, raw shrimp, some cichlid pellets, and a feeder every once in a while.

Thats cool, I just think its messed up how he sold you something that was supposed to be something else:irked:, and I'm pretty sure he knew what he was selling you.

[Big Roc]

Heres a pic of a xingu that we just got in on Fri. They are not the best pics, but the first pic is of a 7" and the darker one is 12". (notice the yellow on the gill on the smaller one)

[Euge]

nice reds.. they all look so bad ass looking at you

[eng55]

Ya I agree with you on the coloring, but I dont think it looks anything like an altuvie. If you look at the pics of their xingu on aquascape it looks exactly like them. Plus it says they are sold out of altuvie so I dont know. I am not saying your wrong as you have seen tons of more piranhas than I ever have. I just dont think it has the same head shape, jaw line or anything like an altuvie. I might put a pick of it up in the serra forum on p fury to get it identified for sure.
Thanks

Plus I think another thing that makes it look more like a xingu is the eyes. Hes got the red eyes with the black stripe through them. Most of the younger xingus I have seen have them. Just another thing I noticed.
