[guppy]

The list is a long one, what size?

[miro_red.D]

nothing will beat a full grown redline snakehead

[guppy]

solitary or shoaling, for small aggresive shoaling carnivore try exodons.

[myles]

jsut me or are piranhas and snakeheads nothing alike? guess they both have sharp teeth.

[fshgk]

had a school of 13 exodons and it blew my piranhas away in behavier

[guppy]

Hiya myles and fshgk, welcome to MFK. I think the linking of piranhas and snakeheads is just due to the aggressive feeding behavior they show but I am not sure.

[myles]

yeah man if you want agressive go for snakeheads, piranahs cna be agressive but it will take some work and the right conditiions and even then there not all thaa agressive. plsu if you get like a redline snakehead that could eat a piranha whol enyday when fullgrown. so if you have the tank size get a snakehead.

[miro_red.D]

i completly agree...i might be getting some piranha soon to use as feeders for mine...see wut he can do

[matty]

Why on earth would you want to do something like that? :eek:

[myles]

wow as kool as that would be i would highly sugest against feeding ur snakehead a piranha, I mean even tho ur snakehead could eat the thing whol, piranhas bite franticly when scared and i wouldnt be suprised if the piranah took a nice chunk out of your SH. if i were you i would try a oscar:D lol.

[miro_red.D]

lol...yeah ill try many things thats for sure

barracuda, gar, oscar, snake head, bichir, ropefish, etc.

Oscars aren't that tough, if you want to include them then at least mention Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Northern pike.
