nooooo reds are fantasticly active fish! Mine are always ut exploring just give him more time. for me, it's gars. They are cool and interesting enough fish, but they literally just sit in the tank breathing.. at least whenever I have seen them. Even when they eat, they just wait for a fish to swim by and grab him... not too thrilling if you ask me. Though they do look bad ass.Fishermoe14;1769589; said:red belly piranha... its boring because i have a single one... scared all the time.. wont eat in front of me. hides in the corner.. gonna try to fix it by trading him in and getting a shoal of babies
