My new Piranha

[yellowtib]

Just got him last week 20 bux at the lfs i couldnt resist I think he is a Brandti He kind of looks like my big one, and thats what he was labled and ordered as. Ive never seen a small brandti so im not 100% sure but he has spots comming out that look like gold diamonds?

looks good, but why is his back all chewed up?

 

[yellowtib]

?? I think its behind the rock?

that's definitely not a brandtii, it looks more like a pygopristis denticulata

I gotta agreed with you. it's a Den, and 20bux are to much for him. but good pick up. get a few more so they can group together.

Damn I think you guys are correct At first I didnt think he was a brandti i told the pet store they were wrong! But I gave when the gold spots started to come out on his side. Can he ony be kept with the same kind? they only grow6" Reds will outgrow him?
Thanks a lot you guy are awsome!
