Pictures Of My Piranha Tank
- Thread starter Joe.G
- Start date
The self is over 2 inch thick and it is made of rough cut lumber ( Planed it smooth )from the mill up the road. I then trimed it out with rough cut, there are rough cut 4 x 4 that were used as braces and lag bolts holding everything down. Under everything (inside wall) there are a bunch of 2x4s all tied together holding everything up. The tank intself sticks out of the wall about 4 inches.
When I remolded the house that used to be a shelf for a bar, I just added diffrent lights and the rough cut lumber, I have had that thank set up for a few weeks like that, some of the plants are new. The Piranhas shouldnt eat the plants to bad but I am unsure how long the tank mates will make it.
In the Tank I have 4 Baby RBP, 3 black and silver tetreas along with 3 white ones. I also have a 10 In Pleco and a 4 in Pleco along with a crab and a pitcus cat fish. I also have 2 red fish not sure what they are there not to big. All the fish swim and eat together so far there have been no attacks.

Never saw a rimless tank, I would like to take teh top off because the lights built into teh ceiling really give a nice natural looking light but I am worried about fish jumping out and water messing up the walls.
Very nice tank. You could probably get a glass top that would be flush on the top and then you would have no light on top and the fish would not jump out. Especially since you said that your lights above would give enough light for the tank. Good luck and great looking tank.
I have never had my piranhas jump out of a tank ever. But thats just my piranha now and in the past. IMO your piranhas splashing water on your walls should not be an issue.
Here are some rimless tanks and they would look outstanding in that location with your ceiling lights.
Here are some to look at. You can actually take off the top rim yourself with a little DIY. I know there is a post on MFK somewhere. Maybe someone on here can throw you a link.
