this is really surprising but i cant help but wonder if you really had a piranha considering theres so many species that look almost identical to a rbp and it ate vegetables. seems like piranha relatives are commonly mislabled after all my first school of silver dollars turned out to be piranhas.
Mr djsalty nuts- it’s comments like these that rub some folks the wrong way. Similar to the op who got cranky with you. I don’t know how many piranhas you have personally owned and don’t really care tbh. You think you know what you are talking about, but anyone who knows anything about piranhas knows they also eat a portion of vegetable matter both in the wild and in home aquaria.
with all due respect either do more research before acting like you know everything or let someone who actually knows what they are talking about answer the question. Feel free to tag someone who knows the answer. I understand you are young and really want to help out, but no one likes a teenage know it all.
I don’t typically claim to know much, but I have spent hundreds of hours researching piranhas since before I even owned any. When I first started keeping piranhas there were only a few sp available. And by the time I was in high school had already kept close to 20 different piranhas. And guess what- I hardly know a thing about them, but I can make some educated speculations.
I’m not trying to be a jerk here but I feel insulted when I was backing up your point and you come at me like I’m an idiot or something.
