Hi, I am getting 2 5"Caribe I have 2 6 RBP, that have been in the tank for 2 years, I lost the other two this week, The tank is a 75 Gal any Tips, I don't want to loose any more.
Adding 2 5"Caribe with 2 6 RBP, Tips.
- Thread starter Joe.G
- Start date
So you still have 6 rbp left? And you can plan on adding 2 more pygos?
Sorry to state the obvious but that tank is way overstocked and water quality must be extremely difficult to keep up on! If your not doing atleast a couple huge wc per week then your fish are dying from toxicity.
A 75 is okay for 3-4 max!
If you only have four rbp now and plan on adding 2 caribes that's still not enough, Imo you need atleast 125gal for 6, but a 180gal is better as caribes grow even larger then rbp.

Alan, the way I understand it is he has 2 Nattereri that are 6" and wants to add 2 5" caribe? Very misleading title 
I agree though, for Caribe you'll need a larger tank. 125 gallons would be the absolute minimum IMO.

Yes I forgot to add the " I have 2 RBP's left I had four lost two, I want to add 2 Caribe. ( How do you pronounce Caribe ).
Caribe is just a general way of saying "piranha"... but Cariba is used to specifically refer to the species Pygocentrus Cariba...
I didn't make the rules, blame science... (or thank science).
