i don't know

[monkey]

can i raise 2-4 inch black piranha in a 20 gallon tank till hes a little bigger. i've been trying to find out what this this whole thing about 1inch fish to one gallon of waters all about. at some point i'd get a 125 gal tank but from this it's almost nuts. by the way hello, thankyou

 

[piranha45]

you could keep him in there till he's 6"... what specie is it? redbelly will hit 6" in 3-4 months, serrasalmus could take a couple years

 

[monkey]

if they send the right one he'll be a s,niger

 

[piranha45]

that'll last for 2-4 years then

 

[iheartfishies]

true dat.

they grow slow as balls.

It'll be like 25 years till he's maxed out.

 

[monkey]

so you all are saying i'll be 50 by tthe time he 16inches , god lord.!!!

 

[piranha45]

its true...

 

[monkey]

well i guess i'll have to live longer than i thought. how big do red belies get and do they get bigger a load quicker

 

[piranha45]

redbellies get around 10", they can get 8" in about 2 years.


i think you'd find fishkeeping alot more pleasurable if you looked into cichlids. more people than not complain about their piranhas being too shy and cowardly.
