- piranha serrasalmus tankmates
Thanks. It's alright. At least my piranhas have more room in the tank lol. Aside from that, I'm trying to skeletonize the remains of the wolf..
What type of serras do you have in with the shoal? Has there been any problems with them ie; parasitic fin nipping? My maculatus is in with my red bellies and he prefers eating fins to anything else including feeders... I really don't wanna remove him any ideas on how to curb this behavior?
Well my smallest serras (3.5 inch) got into it pretty bad with a red or caribe and yesterday. While hiding my dovii scared him out of a corner and as he swimmed across the middle he was attacked and eaten by my 2 reds, 2 caribe, and my larger serras. Fin nipping is going to happen, but I would suggest feeding some fresh tilapia vs feeders. See if that helps.
He has been identified with help from this forum as a Gibus.
There is a aquarium in denmark that have a massive and i do mean massive piranha tank, they have red bellies, Mannies' and some other serras with a yellow belly, that live together 
a pity you wasted something like wolf fish for generally crappier and more benign red bellies.
