Am I Lucky?!

[roidrage03]

Alright so I picked up 20 red bellies like 3-4weeks ago at 3/4 to 1" and when I got them as soon as I walked by the tank they would shoot into the gravel, but after 3-4 weeks of dedication and effort my red bellies are Insane!!! I stare them in the eyes all day long and when I walk past the get all giddy and zoom to the front of the glass. Today I put in a frozen pinkie mouse soaked in vitachem and I literally turned around to pick up my phone and it was gone. I thought it may have fell under the driftwood so I ignorantly put my hand in the tank to look around, I felt at least 10 rubs against my forearm and a bite near my elbow. I immediately retrieved my arm and was a tad freaked out haha so now I have a little nibbit on my forearm. I quickly threw in 4 cubes of krill and watched my p's attack. Am I lucky or what to have such relentless piranha?! Let me know guys
Love,
Roid

Sure you haven't accidently dropped any Tren in the vita chem?

Sounds like you got some meanies! My baby reds are afraid of everything, unless they are hungry, then they are fearless. They still refuse to bite me though lol

maybe because you have a larger group there more aggressive, instead of just having 5-6 a larger school would be more aggressive right? confidence in numbers!

I think a large number does help.

I would have to agree. They're displaying more of their natural behavior.

Some day I will have a school of my own.

i was going to say the size of your shoal is a major factor but looks like it's been pointed out. plus they're still tiny, pretty active stage of their life
