Is this a Pacu or a Red Bellied Piranha?!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Unfortunately P's aren't known for quick growth either. RBP's might be relatively consistent on growth to about 5 inches but I believe they slow considerably after that. Though I could be wrong, hopefully someone will pipe and confirm or correct me.
 
keep them well fed or they will start salvage each other, good luck!

Even if they are well fed the little cannibals still might eat each other. I have one that I think would eat itself, if it could figure out a way to do it. In my experience, the little one in the group is in danger 24/7. They all start out the same size and you can quickly determine the pecking order by the size of them.

Weird, that's what I thought too...that the littlest one would be in danger. But in my group, he seems to be the aggressor. He nips at anyone who comes near him and they all run from him. :confused:
