what filter r u useing an is that the only p going n there?

 

[Experiment397]

just wondering, but is that the minimum for one p? i have never kept a p, but it seems like a 185 is the most common size tank for them. great looking setup though.

Thank you! I am so impatient for all of the plants to grow. I was told by some wise piranha veterans to put a divider between the big guy and a future shoal. Does it matter if I mix Naterreri, golds, caribes, and rbp's?

Feed him, if he eats hes happy. If not hes still a little stressed but dont let the food rot in there.
Btw that lone RBP is probably always stressed. Rbp NEED to be is schools to feel comfortable.
I would suggest you let Harry go to the petstore or be introduced to another school and get a school of about 10-12 baby rbp. They will all grow up together and eat together and be much more social and active.

@tellamuno: I got a Perfect-Flo undergravel filter and then I have a small external one as well. 24''x72''

im kind worried for that single piranha i mean there a shoaling fish aka a schooling fish and it would be nice if there were at least 5 or 6 in there i mean you got room..but yea good tank man id feed feeder fish every now and then in my opinion
