Hey there i need help, I just bought a ruby red splio piranha and had trouble with acclimation it tore through the bag and went right into the water with barley any acclimation. It is swimming and floating around in the tank but its breathing seems labored. Every time it breahtes it opens its mouth and its body bumps a little. Is it normal for this to happen with such a short acclimation and can it recover. Any help is appreciated.~Dave

I'm not really surprised by the tearing through the bag thing. At the shop where I used to work, we always double bagged piranha with a brown paper bag between the two plastic layers so they couldn't see out and stayed calm. If they could see, they would bite right through the bag and flop out onto the counter/floor
