Finally found a S. manueli

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks! And also thanks again for letting me know about that listing on AquaBid. I don't think I would have been able to get one anytime soon if you hadn't given me the heads up there.
Just wondering if you checked Aquascape during your search? They seem to be the go to place for pirahana.

I did. I used to always consider them the go-to place, but their prices have skyrocketed. I paid around 1/4 of what they're asking for a 4-5" manueli currently on their website. That's honestly why I stopped looking for one in the first place - I thought they were just super expensive all over the place due to Brazil's export laws. I've now seen a few other vendors with similar pricing to what I found mine for, so that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

It’s hard to see a difference when I see him every day, but looking at the first pic and these new ones, I’m pretty excited at his growth so far.

He went on a bit of a hunger strike for a few weeks, but he’s taken shrimp the past 3 days in a row. I think he’ll get back on track now.

Since shark aquarium closed they increased their prices , but there is no other store for piranhas around . Been asking few lfs but none of them could get any piranhas ( legal in my state)
