Black Piranha Friends??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nether heard of anyone growing a rhom to 24 inches? in fact nether heard of anyone catching a 2 foot one before.
but im not doubting you as i know some-times you do get a really good eater along with exceptional genetics its probally possible.
allthough my first thought was a pacu.

its a real shame you nether got a picy as i would have loved to seen one that size.
what size tank did you have him in and what was his diet?
i would love mine to get that big!
sorry to go off topic but nether heard of this before.

Obviously not as well as you think you do...
How many fish have you kept for 16 years?
Where I got a fish that was Illeagle to own in my former state of residance is really none of your or anyone elses buisness and certianly has nothing what-so-ever to do with the nature of this thread.
Your comparing slightly over 35 years of expierance here with what?
2 years and a computer granting you "Instant...internet expert status?"
what are u talkin about dood... ive been into PIRANHA for 20 years... ive bred reds cariba and sanchazis.
and have wrote many articles on rhombus and outher serra's... all im sayin is u were mistaken. unless as i said u had this fish for 30 years before it got this size... then all the power to ya

i didn't ethier, but i was emailing a vendor from a piranha related website, and he said he could import them up to 30", though the price tag was in the 4-5k range-needless to say i wasn't going to spend that to find out. i ask for pics but he didn't have any. and without pics it's hard to believe.
 
Anywhere from 20 to 24". we never really bothered to measure...and no it wasn't a pacu...in 16 years a pacu would be conciderably larger than that not to mention the vast differance in their teeth.

So...20 years of Pir expierance? and yet you type "Dood..."
also no answer to how long you've actully kept an individual fish...

Why is it that these people NEVER seem to post an age or anything more than a vague location? To be honest I originally picked the fish up as a favor to a friend at about 2" long or so and never would have imagined eventually keeping him...or becoming as attached to him as we eventually did. He outgrew several tanks and all but one of his tankmates. He ate a variaty of fresh food and meats...market shrimp...tuna...and his favorite...chicken hearts. Originally I was told by the former owner that he was called a white pirhanna, but not really bieng an internet fish expert at the time or a teenaged fish snob I really didn't care...Still don't in fact. My current wife and I have moved on to other intrests.

I replied to the post in order to pass on a bit information based on my own expierance...not to be quized or questioned by people who's entire fish education came from fish boards in the last year or so.

You doubt MY word or information? Personally I doubt your so called expierance. Everything about your reply shows your immaturity. Better log off....I belive I hear your mother calling you to take out the garbage.
 
Whoa that was a nice one wolf. :thumbsup:

I dont doubt that you could or DID raise one to that size.
 
I think I'd also like to see some of these 'articles' of yours....we can only hope they have been edited in epic preportions. Typos happen....sure....but seriously now..

Id like to see how to breed CaribE. Notice the 'E', because you spell caribE with an E.

Its amazing how he breeds fish and knows a bunch about fish and he cant even spell the fishes name correctly! :nilly:
