Looks like it could be one of the Xingu river basin variants. very nice

A Rhom that size would already have red eyes.

Why would you want to live in Kalifornistan?

My irritans also came from aquascape. about 6" now. Very aggressive.

I'd love to find a true ruby red spilo. Been a while since I've seen one.

A pygo tank requires planning, a BIG tank up front, and all the fish purchased at once so that they can go about thinning themselves out, establishing pecking order, etc. and get it over with, any time you introduce new fish after the fact, carnage can be expected. Keeping shoals of pygos is not...

It is impossible . Every fishkeeper is different.

I can see that his eyes are beginning to turn red

There are several color variations of rhombeus, "gold diamond" being one. That said, you won't really know for sure until it grows out a little more. Nice fish, though. Very active. My irritans didn't come out of his shell until he was a little over a year old.

Good looking little rhom. I like the bonsai tree as well.

Just don't call him late for dinner.

When they are that small, it's hard to be sure, but it looks like a baby rgom.

Rhoms can be rather long lived.

Best to avoid avian or mammalian meats when feeding piranha. They contain lipids that are difficult for the fish to digest and can eventually result in organ damage and shortened life span.

I agree. At 6.5" eyes should already be red, if it was a rhom.

I feed my 2 1/2 year old, 6" irritans every 2 or 3 days, alternating tilapia, shrimp or earthworms/nightcrawlers. Water quality is good, tank is heavily planted, fish is doing fine.

I have been divorced nearly 20 years. I have an airframe and powerplant mechanic certificate. I have 20 years plus as a tool & die machinist. I have no wife to tell me that I can't build an aircraft in my garage. What do you suppose is about to happen next?

Alas, in Florida, I suppose 60 or 70 Caribe would be out of the question.

I don't see any. Usually, you will begin to see ich on fins and it will spread from there.
