Black piranha

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
still too young to identifye unless you know where it was collected. do you have a water head? i have a rhom and it plays in the powerhead all day. try that

can mod please move this to piranha section?
 
The thing with Black Piranhas is that they are usually solitary individuals. Making them naturally shy.
It's up to you to get it to come out. If you have a habitat made to cater its shy behavior, it will shy away. It does take time for it to come out.
I don't have a set schedule for feeding my fishes, so that helps to keep them curious whenever anyone comes to the aquarium.

Good advice.

Id try removing decorations rather then add them. Perhaps just tall fake plants on either side. Note: You other fish will become food eventually. :)
 
Nice BP. So they prefer to be solo? Or needs to be schooled as well? I hear the BP grows much bigger the the red belly, am i correct?
