hello im new to the forum
im going to buy an 80 gal glass tank or maybe 100 for my piranhas
i really want a 150 gal but it will get expensive maybe when i get a job
but anyways i will be updating, posting pictures and starting on my project really soon.
 
so today was the day i was suppose to get the new 80 gal tank i went to 6 pet stores and called 7 stores there was no 80 gallon tanks haha so i guess i am going to get 100 gallon now tomorrow

nice macs. but you didn't let the tank cycle? did you? and good luck. maybe plant it up more give them more hiding as they swim. mine love the multiple pieces of driftwood giving them cover tank side to tank side.
 
:cheers:
 
thanks alot
more than half the water was already from another fish tank that was all dirty haha so i didnt cycle really but i left it for awhile so im pretty sure its good
im going to buy more plant tomorrow
 
you should learn the law before posting you have a tank of pirahnas. they are illegal in california you really think its a good idea to post that info? i know 3 people the ca dept of fish and game came to the peoples house took the fish and arrested them. they got hefty fines and 200 hrs of community service picking up trash and cleaning public toilets at parks. and they are on probation for 2 years which means your house can be searched at any time. alot of legal expense and trouble for having pirahna in california.
 
change your location buddy.... that may help with preventing some flack. Try getting a large piece of driftwood that extends into the upper levels of your tank that way the top doesnt look empty and the pir. have cover on multiple levels. What are you feeding them?
