Hey, do you have "bearshare"? its a peer to peer networking program, if you do search for Piranhas with Nigel Marven its a great movie about the amazon, I have kind of set my tank up simalar with the sand and driftwood they seem to like. It shows them breeding in the wild, and just all kinds of underwater amazon shots, check it bro, its the best ive seen on p

Not true to the amazon, but I used to have a planted P tank.

have your water colored with tanins (either you put a driftwood or indian almond tea leaves to have the tea colored effect). black sand would be nice too though im not sure if its typical of amazon.
