Mixing Piranhas with others

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Generally it is unwise to mixing a lone piranha with other fishes.
 
Nope. Think people use tin barbs as dithers for them, but no way it's gonna work out with the others.

I would steer away from that fish if I were you and I would stay away from this guy at the lfs...he might tricking you to buy the pacu.
 
Not in a 125 with that other stock. Too crowded.

I have had a large pacu in a 120g before(other stock was similar to yours but also had a few large rtc and tsn), but got rid of him at 26" and he was growing over a inch a month. He was crashing my system. He ate as much as all the others combined, I used to have to throw handfuls of dogfood in the tank just before feeding so the others had a chance to eat also.
 
Pacu or Piranha its still a bad idea, it will cause a lot of stress on the fish, they are extremely incompatible, and imo its unfair for the fish, they don't choose their tank mates, you do!

You want a Piranha, get rid of th other fish and have a shoal in your 125. if its a pacu it gets as big as a bike tire....and by then you won't even be able to give it away. Think about the long term !
