Thanks Kristoffer for posting those examples.
those are the shapes I like and think that's what most p's look like in the wild.

do u think he grew them that big?

if any, maybe the small piraya, probably not the bigger one and the caribe and tern were most likely purchased at around that size.

do u think it is possible 2 grow them n a tank?

I think it's possible but will take many years and have to deal with the risk of loosing them to tank mates. growing them out solo will probably be the best but when you want to shoal them together you'll risk aggression amount them.

That piraya in the last pic is insane.

is it possible to keep them looking that way? imo, u cant.

You could, just have to control the amount of feeding and exercisest the fish gets. same as how people can be kept in shape with balanced food intake and proper amount of exercises. but that will also increase the chance of them killing each other.

as much as they cost id rather not take the chance. its already hard 2 keep them from doing that even with heavy feeding......
