:headbang2 I just bye 2 Black Piranha. My LFS said they are from bolvirian or somthing.
They are about quater size, I pay 14.99$ per one.LFS had some bigger for 24.99$
I will feed first rosey feeder in their new home and get some pic,s to post later today
:headbang2
 
Yes,...for a while, they are still little, If one eats the other. OOP's!:ROFL:
They are only in a 25gl now with plenty of hidding so its like i do not even have fish in there. Hope they grow stedy or they will be food for the RBPS:D
 
stuffing all those extremely agressive fish in there is wrong. they will either kill each other off or one will live and be fat. nothing good comes out of it, i recommend you seperate them.
 
Hey, will you be my geography study partner?



Black piranhas will kill each other, even at 3" or less. I know from experience......
 
I'm unclear here....DO you have reds in there too???Beneraly speaking, Serras are loner fish and should not be housed with pygos....Two, although young and slow growing, black rhom specimans should be placed, ALONE, in their own tanks as sub-adults and on...You are right for one thing, those baby rhoms will be feed for your reds.....What size are your reds????25g is really small for a growout....
 
Ya I have a 150 with 7 RBP all right around 6 inch. I bought the black ons for the hell of it.
They are in a 25 gal with plenty of hiding and ignor eachother for now. Im not trying
to be an ass, housing together the black ps, But need to set up my 55gal witch I will do
next weekend. I just wanted to get my hans on them befor they sold. I will split them up
one in the 25 gal and one in the 55 gal,And I will sell one when the 25gal looks to small.
But in the case they eat eachother in one week SNAP:)
 
I would like to keep 2 but they will eat one another.,I cant have that. If I can sell one, I will GIVE ONE AWAY to my frends. I just read that Black Piranha Grow like 1/2inch a year.
IS THIS TRUE, Aneybody own a black p, Can you varafy groth rate. :nilly: :popcorn:
