I went to my local store and i was just lookin around liek i like to do from time to time. SO i see they have a 1 inch black piranha. i was like :| wow i gotta get this guy. I've always wanted to grow a black from baby to full, no matter the time frame. so i looked at him and he had fungus on his eye(just one). so i asked the guy why dont u seperate him and medicate his eye. he didn;t answer. so i asked if he would sell it to me for half price and if he died if i could get my money back and he said no. (they have him in a tank with about 100 bala sharks) but he is in a seperate little 1 galon thing. like its pathetic i just want the fish to live but its just gonna die. thats no good for anyone!!!! :swear:
 
PS. i really want this fish. i may be able to get a 7 day garuntee on the life of this fish! what shoudl i do? do you think he will live? i will medicate him righ taway and try my best to save him is it worth my efforts?

HeY where u live in Toronto??? I live der too!~!!! Other dan the eye problem what does the little "Blackie" look like. Any other cuts scrapes on body or fin damage??? Why was der only one??? Did the shop owner lose the others to disease??? Cuz usually dey don't order one fish!!! Anyways in my experience with Piranhas, it is not unusual to see a imported one wid cloudy eyes. Dis is cuz in shipment they dash around and git der eyes scraped.
I gave away a bunch of Piranha just last year, even a beautifull 10" Blackie.
 
the store apparently had 8 of them but all were sold except this one. only one eye is bad. other then that he is in mint condition. beautiful colours just an amazing fish. i live in Ajax/pickering area
