alright what do u think about putting a wild caught sufish in my aquarium with my piranha
 
Quarentine first. How big is the sunfish? Observe the Sunfish very well since they are very stressed once taken out of the wild. Better if you could catch a baby instead of a med/full grown one.
 
If you put these two together, one of the following will likely happen:

Sunfish will stress and die due to inappropriate water temps
Sunfish will stress and kill piranha
Piranha will kill sunfish
Sunfish and Piranha will manage to kill each other
 
Even if one doesn't kill the other, a sunfish will not live year round at tropical temperature, if it does, it won't be healthy for it.

welll i hear there basically as aggressive as oscars and my 8" rhom is wild caught and as will be the sunfish i will get one at least 10" hoping thatll be enough to not have my ronnie kill it but there mad pretty thats why i want 1
 
but i put a 10' dovii in with him before and was food by that night so im hoping sense its wild maybe itll adjust to preditors better or something
 
I have a weird story about piranha i was helped with a 265g that was built into a wall and had very little access room to get in. The tank had been community we were able to get all the fish out except 2 congo tetras. The piranaha came in so we had to put them in, their were 25 about quarter size. 8 months later the piranaha are 3.5-4 inch and they school with the congos.... they eat together and all seem very happy together but i still cannot catch the tetras.
