BLACK PIRANHA

[pdsmith]

dude ur ok dont need too sell ur piranhas jus might need biger tank but black piranhas grown very slow and they dont eat alot i kno of ppl who have 11 black p's in the same tank and ppl on here jus tell u that u cant do it its not rite and all this other bull but u can shoal black p's and watever else its all up too u as the owner

^^ don't listen to this guy his tanks are nasty and a mess and has no idea what he's doing.

i know he is the owner and he can do what ever he wants. i don't really care what he does with these fish. if you want them all to live you will have to separate them. thats the only way to be 100% sure they all live.

i tried this about a year ago with 6 3 inch rhoms. in a 75 gallon. it lasted about a month. then one morning i got up and 3 were dead. the next day another was dead. so i divided and sold the last 2. i know there are some ppl that say with more fish it will spread out the agression. i don't think thats the problem. i think its the territories they set up.

if you want to keep them together you are going to need thousands of gallons. this is going to work and be cool for a while. i'd LOVE to see some pices of this. in the mean time i'd try to get them in a 180 gallon, 6'x2'x2' with strong filtration. also provide lots of hiding spots and cover. i'd try to also get some floating plants.

honestly its fun to try and would be cool if it lasts, but its not going to. its kool that you want to experiment tho.

dont listen to that money d kid hahaha he feeds his ps friend chicken and cooked roast. and hes telling you keeping all those blacks together is fine ha. heres the deal like everyone else has told you it will NOT WORK! sure they may get along for a week or two as 1 inch juvis maybe. but are you seriuosly telling everyone you did research! because you didnt do any. black piranhas are SOLITARY! i have 2 in 2 SEPERATE TANKS. i never even tried to put them together because i am a responsible fish keeper who does research.

I don't think he's coming back....lol. You guys scared him off.

If he bought them in North Carolina, most likely he's got pacu's. I lived there for a number of years and it amazed me how many fish stores over there try to sell them as piranha's.

I can't believe it took 3 pages for someone to come to that conclusion.

If he did I want to know where he got 10 from The most I have ever seen for sale in one pet shop was ONE. they don't sell around me I have one seen two for sale one small 3" and one big 10" (should have bought him)

10 rhoms would cost a lot of money.

No crap the little one I saw was like 60 bucks. so this guy had at least $600 in fish easy. That's alot of money in feeder fish.
