Piranha tank maintenance

My reds are skittish so whenever I turn up the light and stick my arm in the tank, they hide. Even then, I make sure to have my eye on them at all times.
When the lights are dimmed, they come back out and swim around like normal.

What I can advise is have a look up on what u ell be expecting from a P . As so if you are well prepared and also if u are thinking about having a P just becoz its aggressive and fierce to look at than think again there are pros and cons
Hope to see ur collection of P's soon ..cheers

I could think of alot worse fish to stick my hand in with. Got zapped real bad by an electric catfish before. Jabbed by shovelnose cat fin. Bit by an Undulatus triggerfish. 15 years working in a pet store had me pretty hardened to being bitten/attacked. I tell you though, hamster bites are the worst. Fed many to our resident Pac-Man frog.
