piranha collection pix. elong, rhom, rb, brazil

Here are some updated pix of my piranhas. Just recently got the elong and the large red belly.

The elong is almost 7 inches and already is my favorite fish. Stares me down in the front of the tank and not afraid of me at all.

The new red belly also is not skittish at all. He is a brazillian red belly with a purple varient. The picture does not show his color at all, but he has a brilliant purple color past the red. Picture doesnt show him justice. He is 8 inches long and in a solo tank.

The tank above him has a 3.5 inch juvy guyuna rhom. He was in the elongs tank but since the elong arrived he got moved to a 30 planted. Seems to like it. I like it more too. The other tank was a little big for as small as the fish was. Gives him a little growout.

The last tank is my 125g red belly that houses 9 juvy red bellys ranging from 2 to 3.5 inch redbellys. Little nips here and there but havent lost one in a while now. Not skittish at all any more. The other day I had my hand in the tank to rearrange and two came up about 6 inches away and stared at my hand for a little bit before I chased them away.

The tank is a little plain and needs a lot of work. Took a lot of the driftwood for the other tanks. I want to get a few more large sword plants to put in the tank and keep it a little plain with some large swords.

Anyways enjoy pics. Sorry for some bluriness, came from my phones camera

I cannot get the elong and adult rb to eat pellets. They are just going to have to starve until they learn!

The juvy rb start swarming around the top of the tank now as soon as I come up to it expecting food. They used to be real skiddish and not eat until they thought I was gone, now they wait for me to drop it in.

Thanks a lot, I really liked the collection you posted a while ago and cant wait until my rhom grows to your size.

I also really wanted to add a brandtii to the collection and possible three or four caribe in a 75.
