Hi Everyone
I should have done this a week or so ago as I have been patrolling around the forums that long lol. I am a new member to the MFK community. I have been an aquaria hobbyist for around 10 years now and have kept many different species of freshwater fish. I am fairly new to monster fish keeping although I did have some red belly pacu when I was young and didn't research how big they got before I bought them. OOPS! But I was fortunate enough to have a LFS owner who was in the process of building a monster 2500 gallon+ aquarium who happily took them off my hands when it was complete. My first crack at monster fish keeping is with a shoal of Red Belly Piranha. There are currently 8 juveniles in a 190 Gallon tank. I have 4 more in a 40 gallon breeder at a friends house that he is growing out for me as my juveniles are between 2-3 inches long and those 4 are only about 1 inch. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have scanned the internet taking every bit of information I can get but the best advice is always from people who have actually homed these gorgeous "monsters".
So far I am really enjoying this community and I have really come to realize that the members here truly love their "monsters". I look forward to getting to know more of you and being a member of such a unique community.
