I am thinking about getting a black piranha from a local guy. hes about 5" and comes with a 65 gal setup. I know he will have to be housed solo, but will a 65 gal be good for life?
black Piranha question
- Thread starter fishsnakescars
- Start date

cool site. ill have to ask the guy tomorrow more about it though. all he told me is black piranha 
what would you reccomend for a tank for a rhom anyways? thanks
what would you reccomend for a tank for a rhom anyways? thanksWhats the dimensions on your 65gal? A standard 75gal (48"x18"x21") will house a rhom for a very long time possibly even for life. Being that the rhom is 5" right it's growth rate is about to slow down, after the 6" mark you can expect about 1" a year of growth. Get it and lets see pictures. 
its one of those 65g wave tanks. probably gonna be a couple weeks before i can afford to dish out the ca$h
Unfortunatly common names with Ps and most fish in general suck. "black piranha" could be anything from S. Sanchezi that only grow up to 6" or S. Rhombeus that in the wild has a potential to reach 18"+!
