Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and new to fish keeping alltogether! I recently purchased a 90 gal tank and put 10 red belly piranhas in it. Here is a short video of my tank about a month into having my p's! Hope you enjoy! Comments welcome! More vids to come!

Holy cow that was alot of food!
 
Haha i know... Trying to film and drop a pinch of food at the same time didnt work out so well lol! They didnt seem to mind tho :D Hungry lil fellas!
 
Won't be long before the pillars on the left are just a waste of space for them. I have one of those stuck under my stand. More pics and updates as they get older.
 
Haha I dont normally feed them like that at all! That was my bad trying to film and grab flake without looking haha! I do a 10% water change once a week tho.

And the large collesseum has already found its way under my stand. The corner pieces arent far behind. They grew up really fast! When I got them I didnt even know if they were p's or not because they were so tiny! Now my biggest is 5" plus!
 
Yeah, i noticed you have one significantly bigger then the rest. I think the early months are the most fun you'll have with Ps. Sometimes i just want to sell mine and start all over again.
 
Yeah there were two extremes in the group I purchased. I have one that grew significantly larger than the rest (Murderface), and one who just stays tiny (Pip Squeak) haha! Im definatly having a blast keeping the levels ideal, taking care of them, and watching them grow up! Greatest hobby ever!

the only thing that really gets me heated is when i have people over to see my tank. Im so proud of it and of my P's and the way they move in a group weaving in and out of the plants and such. But all everyone says is can you feed them, can we throw THIS in there, how bout THAT, if i put my arm in there will they maul it?
i want to just shoot lazers out of my eyes when i get that. Some people just dont understand that they are super shy! Half the time when people walk up to the tank they all dart away and hide in a few of their fav hiding spots. And if you put your hand in, they will most likley be on the polar OPPOSITE end of the tank hiding in fear!

Silly uneducated n00bs... haha!

lol, i know how that goes! Sometimes you just have to put your hand in the tank (mess with a filter intake or something routine) and show them it's not the picture our dear old president roosevelt painted. Though i would've loved to have seen that show they put on for him in person!
 
I dont know who i feel more bad for, the cow or the poor P's that were kept starving and got a bad rep from it all! Booooo to you Roosevelt! Boo to you indeed!
