My Pygocentrus Nattereri x4 ((load warning))

This are my 4 RBP The biggest one is George... I got the name because he was always looking at me like George from "of mice and men"








George





And I have one cave dweller

I've had the little ones since early December but I've had George for almost two and half years now. I rescued him in a way... I knew a guy from class that invited a bunch of us guys over to watch his new "pets" eat, so we tagged along. When we arrived I saw two pale white Piranhas in a 10-15gallon tank with nothing in it but a air stone. He threw some feeders in there and they didn't do anything for a long time.

After a while he was very upset and decided he was going to kill them... So I told him I'd pay for them, and took them home. I didn't know a thing about Piranhas, tanks, cycles, or anything else so they may have not lived in the perfect condition for a little while. But I worked with what I had... I called in a few favors and got a tank, filter, and heater for them.

The good news is their color returned and so did their appetite. The bad news is I still didn't know jack about Piranhas... Then one day the power cut off for three days and Georges roomy died Finally I started finding sites like this one and now my fish are much happier.

Hey guys

Just moved my Pygocentrus Nattereri's over to my 180g and they seem to love it

They are still a little stressed about the move but other then that seem to enjoy all the open space

So here's a few pics

Well you really need to have some good hiding spots and a pleco that's bigger then your P's and has a never back down attitude. I've never had a problem with keeping them together, unless you count the time my pleco cut his lip off and was bleeding...
