I had initially thought I was losing my mind. I could've swore it was an 8''-8.5'' Rhombeus. Now I understand the confusion. Another member posted the Rhom!
If you'd rather sell it outright and ship it I'd be very interested depending on the shipping costs and if you'd even be willing to ship him.

Very nice fish! I just checked out your pictures and he looks awesome.

That was me with the 8-8.5 inch rhom for sale... at least I think it was mine you were thinking of.

You have pics of the brandtii you are cohabing? or a link to the blog. I am interested in seeing it.
 
O here's a link to someone who succesfully cohab'd and bred s. maculatus might find some useful info.

Yes, I was thinking about your ad. I took a few pictures on my camera but you can't see anything as I have the lights off to reduce stress. I'll definitely have full photographic documentation and complete journal of my experience.

I started a blog which can be seen on my profile here but will likely put a complete website up soon dedicated solely to cohabiting Piranha and my experience with such.

All is going well thus far [no casualties.] and I'm trying to find better dither fish to target aggression on. So far it's really been no different that setting up a Pygocentrus tank. They've nipped each other but nothing serious whatsoever.

Back in the 1600's there was a fella by the name of Columbus. The world told him the Earth was flat. If it not been for his interest and perseverance to know for himself, they might still be drawing flat maps of the world.

Actually, Columbus and all of Europe already knew the world was round. It had been known since the time of Eratosthenes of Cyrene (he calculated the circumference of the Earth). He knew that at Syene on a certain day of the year the sun was DIRECTLY overhead (it's true, Syene is on the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is directly overhead on June 21-23ish). At the same time, the sun at Alexandria was slightly at an angle (other than 90 degrees) to the ground (which he measured), and, with the assumption that Syene and Alexandria were on the same longitude (which he invented, by the way), he calculated that the distance between Syene and Alexandria was 1/50th the total circumference. So multiply the distance by 50 and ta-da!

PS: Eratosthenes lived from 276 BC to 195 BC.

yeah but we didn't have navigation charts until the invention of a watch accurate enough to calculate latitude and longitude.
 
any update on this cohab?? PICTURES~!!!
