Ok my tanks are and have always been Tap water, no chemicals, no buffers nothing at all, and they have always been fine, i also have a 4foot full of larger Malawi chichlids and ive never had any problems
the tank is a 4foot tank as all 3 are the pirana and cichlids in the pic is partioned into 2 tanks,
NOTHING CAN BE KEPT WITH PIRANAHS from birth!!!!!
i had a turtle in there, a cory and a plec and some 2" Jewels All were attacked at some point, now its Piranas and nothing else dont ever thing you can keep something with piranas there just too nasty
I was wanting another 5 or 6 but after seeing how nasty they are, im sticking with 3 for now, i doubt they would let anything else into the tank with them anyway with piranah more is less!!
even at that age and size im still scared of putting my hand in the tank, where as putting my hand in my tank with 3 snakeheads im not bothered about at all!!! thats how scary they are
with the 1st pic you can see the Partitons, its great to watch the piranas watching the cichlids as tho there looking at there dinner
THE ONLY 1 THING THAT P'S CAN SHARE WITH ARE......
