Yeah i tried housing a snakehead with it. But it got bitten at its tail so i rehoused it with my alligator gar. Too bad the alligator gar ate the snake head together with the dragon fin with it. Thanks tho. ill try feeding it hikari carni pellets. One more thing, are the senstive to noise? Because the overhead pump might also be a factor of their less colorness?

Thanks for the advices. :)

OK so I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume your water isn't blackwater but is just filthy from the disgusting, awful, cruel stuff you're feeding them.

You do NOT get these fish because you think it's badass to watch them eat live animals. You should NOT be feeding them that, or pork, or anything other than dead fish or product made thereof.

If you lived in the United States, I'd be trying to find out where you live to alert animal cruelty officers/groups, and I'm the LAST person to snitch. I honestly believe what you're doing is disgusting and should be punishable. Sure, it's your choice, just as it's your choice to torture any animal you come across.

Repulsive, repugnant.

No, poor diet and probably stress from dirty water is whats making your pirahna not very colorful

Aryt thanks bro. Ill keep you guys posted. By the way, the water is not dirty. The photo taken earlier was months ago and its way cleaner now.
 
Try feeding them chunks of beef. Nothing with fur or too much fat. What else do you have in the tank? From the picture you posted it looked like you had several other fish with them. Can you get feeder gold fish or rosy red minnows to feed them? To answer you poll question unless you have a 300+ gallon tank piranha are your only option.

Is that a big gold fish in the tank? Unless they are going to eat it take it out.
 
dude close that poll. a 75 gallon is way too small for any of the fish mentioned other than piranha. No offence, but you are getting fish just for their reputation. I think you should try feeding piranha hikari, and if that bores you because you want to see feeding frenzy, then fish keeping is not for you. Get an Oscar for that tank and try and create a bond with it, you will have a far better fishkeeping experience than feeding liver food to piranhas, unless you want to feed them properly.

I feed frozen (note--humanely killed) rats to my snakes, because--here's the thing--that is their only, proper diet.

So really you've got no idea what you're talking about, and this has nothing to do with being a crybaby so much as being against blatant animal cruelty. This is animal mutilation.

As helpful as your opinion is, you're advising the OP to hurt not only the animals he's needlessly feeding to his poorly maintained pets, but also advising him to feed those pets inferior food. And that's only if you want to look at it from a purely logical standpoint about the proper care of the animals in question.

To conclude:

You're wrong in your assumptions about the reasons people are reacting to this disgusting thread how they are, and;

You're completely wrong and backwards in the advice you're giving to the poster even from a purely nutritional standpoint.

While I can't speak for anybody else, it seems to me that the goals of this forum are to help people keep fish successfully and propagate valuable information about said fish, both of which you've failed to do stunningly.
