I finally got my piranha for my tank that I was setting up for a while now. I just got 6 little red belly piranha yesterday. They are doing very good now. I had a little rough start with them in the new tank. They were very stressed out. I never seen anything like this before. But, today they are doing very good and they all made it. I even got a leopard pleco for the tank. I am hoping everything will be okay between all of them. I put the pleco in first and let him get settled in and then I put the piranha in. So, I know it is risky, but I am going to try it. So, right now everything is going good in the tank and I will get pictures up very soon. They are still very nervous and that will change soon. Thanks everybody and have a great day.
 
Thats awesome what size tank did you set up for them?
I got 6 rbp's over 2 months ago at 2" and they have almost tripled in size, they are a great fish!
I have a spotted raph cat, a gourami and 2 black tetras...its all touch and go with tank mates though.
 
congradulations on the new P's.. soon pics i hope.. i hope all goes well for you
 
I've gotta second the request for pics.

You'll have to let us know how long that pleco lasts. I like to keep a running tally on who has what in their tank with their Ps.
 
Good luck bro on your new RBP's. Makes me think to try my hands on them again. Had it before but got to get rid of it when they start eating each other. Problem is the house is empty them every morning and that's the time they do the killing.

How many are there? It could be the reflections but i thought you said you only got 6.

How big of a tank is that?
