:iagree:
But people do keep them together, but I would not suggest it for your first group of P's
 
A Spilopleura is a Serrasalmus. Perhaps one of the only serra breeds that can be kept in shoals, although I doubt it in the long run.
do not put serra's with pygos.( or with anything ).they are fin eaters and will nip constantly on the other fish fins..it is stress in the tank..and pygos will kill in the end.

pygos you can keep together, all 3 species combined, be thet natereri, pirayas or caribas...

My 2 cents
 
I am bad , I just can not controle my self I bought a Gold Spilopleura , On A
Impulse buy . Bad me , Bad , Bad , Bad .

On the same note , I am so happy I put it in with my red's no problem yet .
I Will Keep all update .

I will make a vid later when I have time and put on this thread .

I am taking one fore the MFK , AKA , Home Team . This will be one more
story in the book for all of us at MFK .

Time will tell . Pleas do not damn me and tell me how it wont work I KNOW .
I just can not help my self like so meny of us .

Maby it will work . :WHOA: :ROFL: :cry: :nilly: :popcorn: :)

why not just wait till u have anotha tank ready before u buy anotha ''P''its true gold spilos/mac's can cohab with eachother,(not with pygo's tho) but i wouldnt stress out my new spilo/mac or my reds, witch will happen,i hope u have a big tank, that will help, and lots of hiding places, i have a gold spilo/mac and i think there one of the prettiest serras there is, good luck, maybe u should get a 40 or a 55 gallon ready if it doesnt..
 
I am getting another tank in about 2 3 weeks . I hope it last till then ,
Then if I have to I can split up .
I am getting the other tank just for this reason .
I am going to try to get a mix schole together .
On top of the new/old 75 gal I am getting I have a hospital tank .
:)
 
thats kool..good luck keep us posted..I shoaled a s sanchezi with reds for about three months till my friend bought the red spilo from me,,,..had fin nips the first 2 weeks and then ...nothing...i had some luck
 
Just a short vid of the gold spilo .
as of today things are very calm with the gold and the reds .
They feed together and do not fight .
The first cupple days they did not play so nice , I think the reds put the gold
in its place , And it understands it dose not run the tank .
it strest the reds out for about three days now they do not seam to
mind It in the tank with them . Kind of like my female convic that swam
amongs them for a month before I found a home for it .
I think its good the gold is tuff and minds its own buisness or it would be
dinner . and unlike my mail convic that my reds ate,the gold is not to balzy .

This vid is the second day of being in tank .
