wow man, that really means a lot, just need some better lighting that will come with that canopy then we can really get a planted jungle in there and tank advantage of the peatmoss bottom under the black sand!!!!

no they dont go for the pleco.. .he lives pretty peaceful with them, he knows their behaviour and have grown up defending his arse from piranhas, so when the go to size him up, he flairs up and rushes them full charge, but i dont even think they notice him anymore up there in his new home...

i dont have a feeding video made just yet, thats comin soon...

but heres the video i took when i introduced them to the tank...

You are truly establishing yourself into our piranha community on MFK Ryan!
Firstly lovely caribe, but your red bellies and their setup rival some of the best i have ever seen.
Congratulations on keeping by stocking rules on the 300, i have seen so many people get tempted to just stuff bigger tanks without care of the general 20 gallon rule. And I see you got a real nice flow of water in that as well! What filtration you got hooked up (i now see a sump, what size)?

yes very nice p tank. like it alot. now im kinda mad i didnt buy those caribe from tfd for 30.00 a piece when i had the chance so now i guess ill have to wait until next year.
