Brandi Piranah???

[Chad55]

I saw a really nice looking P at the store the other day for about 30 bucks and I can't remember the name. It was something like brandi or something like that. It was really nice looking and I was thinking about getting it if I had some info? Can anybody enlighten me?

Ha piranha forum i recon. A mod will get round to moving it in no time.

But in response to your question, i think you were looking at Serrasalmus brandtii and there is an ID link and information link below:

They are very cool. Probably one of the least timid p's. But it is not a shoaling fish so one to a tank only. They also grow slower than your average p.

30 bucks is a great deal snatch it up they're pretty hard to get ahold of and are definitely a cool little fish.

Good deal if it is really what it says it is. I will take a good look at the id section and let you guys know. Thanks a ton.

Also anybody have any luck with getting these guys onto shrimp, pellets, frozen fillets, ect. Thanks

 

[sirasoni]

Yeah my old one would readily take shrimp/fillets. I never could get him to take pellets though
