Caribe and RBP's updating.

[Armand]

Hi folks.


I post you some updating of my shoal:

About 20 to 25 days ago I introduced this 7" caribe to my shoal:

And these two are some of his tankmates my 6" and 8" RBP's.

And this is my 8" monster caibe, the master of the whole tank...

.....and my 3" caribe kept alone til he reaches at least 5" maybe 6" to be introduced with the monsters...

Sorry for the picts quality but is the best I can get with my crappy camera that I hope to replace with a better one soon.


Let me know what's your thinking fellows.

Armand, nice addition to the shoal, but how come the new caribe has less red than the 8" you got before?

Hi. Jack.

You know I have done the same question to myself.

When I got him the first week he was very dark, the tail and half of his body were darker than in any other pinahna I've ever seen.

I thought it was due to his being stressed out however time passes by and he only changes from a dark coloration to justa a lighter and he just have some little dark red in the annal fin.

As I told you I haven seen a caribe as darker/lighter (depends) as this one before.

I guess it is just a individual caratheristic of the fish as it is on people when tones of skin and hair vary from individual to individual despite their belonging to the same race.

What's your opinion, you're the "pirahna guru".

wow...piranha guru..what did I do to deserve such title? it felt extremely heavy...I think I'm gonna pass it to someone else as I am still learning everyday.
all the fish I had becomes very pale when stressed, never seen one actually get darker when stressed...but I only have so many fish and they are all different.
where did you get the caribe from? the same vendor you bought the others? at 7" I would think they should still have more red than what's showing in the picture. (at least that's what I'm hoping cuz I don't want mine to look like that after few months, I NEED to see the red belly and black humeral spot. lol)
it could due to the genes of that caribe, or the diet it was having and water parameter it was kept in. put it on high quality diet as you did to other pygos, it might become a bit more colorful..let's hope it's gonna be like that.

if he indeed knows nothing then he wouldn't know that he knows nothing.
he's lying.
