Great pickup.

Nice looking rhom.Great looking scales on him.

Your probably gonna want to upgrade to the 125 in the end. 13" deep if you mean width is really too narrow of a tank.

In the end, maybe. 99% of the time on MFK people will say that Rhoms raised from fingerlings RARELY get over 10". And at 1" per year that they generally grow, I think he'll be great in a 13" tank for a while. I plan on putting a koralia at one end so he has some current. I'd say 6 feet of swimming space is a good start anyways.

FYI-Trigga is not a newbie on Piranha's-------But anyhow........

Your right most people dont but some do. Even then a 13" gap for a ten inch fish is not much turning room. Its your fish though do what you gotta do.

Sorry, I was just grumpy because of something unrelated. You're right, I think he'll get something at least 18" deep before he gets much bigger.

Your fish is gonna appreciate that in the long run-
Certainly glad to hear it......

Glad you are enjoying him Matt! He eats pretty well...feed him whenever you dont see any food in the tank and he will beef up pretty quick I would imagine! Keep me updated on this potential beast! Very nice meeting you! Keep in touch man!
