Bite is healed amazingly. I made an executive decision to put him in the big tank with the other 2. Our weather looks like tornado again tonight so I didint want him upstairs by himself if one did hit. (It sounds dumber when I type it than when I thought it out).
Theres been some chasing around, but the one that was hospitalized is actually bigger than the others now. I'm keeping an eye on them before I head to work and if it looks like they're gonna try to fight I'm gonna put that one back alone.
Is that the right thing to do or leave him?
Tennessee...just a storm this time. Tornado warning cancelled! Last week was ROUGH.Umm ya not sure if anyone else caught the tornado part ? I hope things are ok on that front wow.
when you say it’s healed, is that just skin over the wound or did the flesh fully regenerate? Any pics?
I have seen piranhas recover from much worse injuries than this. Clean water is always your friend.
I do agree with what tlindsey said here regarding a chaperone
Timers are excellent for setting and turning on the lights on and off. The Piranha will get accustomed to the consistent automatic hourly schedule. You can setup the light feature the way you like. I've learned when the lights are turned on nd off inconsistently this will cause fish to spazz out and this may stress the fish out.Tennessee...just a storm this time. Tornado warning cancelled!

The wounds look really good. Originally they looked dark. Like, the white meat was showing and then they darkened up. Now they APPEAR to have the same silvery color as the rest of the back. You can see theres some area missing but it's nice and clean looking.
I will try to get photo in the am.
I have been trying to use a schedule for lights. They are dimmed at night and in the am when I get home, I cut them on and feed. When I go to bed, I dim them again and then cut them on again in the evening when i feed before work. Then i dim them before i leave.
I don't think you have to worry about any member's feeling that way. Great to see the wound healed up nicely. What is going on between the 2 RBP is who is going to be top dog. This is natural with most fish species.And I mean that first line, not in a smart ass way, but an "if you're not worn out from my newbie ignorance yet" way. I'm am 100% grateful for all of the tips and advice.
