it's still utter bs a full grown o will eat a 2" con it's just common sense


What like that big pirhana eats that tiny convict in the first vid? Predators are not use to their prey attacking them...Like city kids running from a goat!:ROFL:
 
A tiny con bitting the tails of some big punk ass pygos...You gotta love the CON!

I could go on and on, thats just a couple of minutes on the tube! And in these vids, notice the convict fry! Not only are they surviving in the tank they are BREEDING... Yeah some of them get eaten, but not even that stress em out too much!
 
ThAts the vid i was After...but you get the point...You will end up with cons living in your tank!

I put a male and a female convict in a 20 gallon tank and they spawned almost instantly in a clay pot. They eggs hatched a couple days later. The fry were free swimming in around a week later. So theyre very easy to breed, not to mention with the right diet, the babies will grow very fast.
 
Plus convicts make a great dither fish if you decide to try and breed your piranhas although P's are extremely hard to spawn.
