My Taxidermy Red Belly Pirahna

[mr.bigglesworth]

Its been in my family for 20 years. My family could care less about fish, I'm the one with the tanks. My mom happened across it at a yardsale long before I was born. And thought it looked cool. She gave it to my older brother when he was 5 and he's now in college. So it has been passed on to my hands. It has physical damage as you can see around the caudal and the edge of the pectoral fins have been torn off. Just thought I would share.

Cool story,I'm always tempted to buy one of these when I see them in stores but they cost more money than I am willing to pay.

That's a pretty bad depiction of a true rbp.... Plus it has NO LIPS!

The teeth are pretty sharp. Are they truly this red in real life? This thing is solid red around the belly, crimson style. I'm not one to truly appreciate the beauty of pirahnas. I don't like pirahnas. Which is why I might sell it to someone who can appreciate its beauty. In person.

Wait... so its not real? It looks real to me... the pics are at a bad angle its distorted. The body looks way too curved/crooked. Its not.

No not hundreds but I wouldn't fork over more than ten or fifteen bucks and I've seen them priced at thirty.Sharkaquarium has a few different sizes for sale,at least they did the last time I was there...F1 the lips are cut off on these display fish to make the teeth show more and look more fearsome.
