pirahna are over rated.

I think daddyo72 said it best, don't expect them to be mean unless you treat a shoal right, alone they are boring but pretty.

I think most everyone that's into predatory fish start of w/P's. I think it's just the excitement and bragging rights of having one. It's a fish not everyone in the block will have. But eventually people will grow out of.

I think they are overated.

Exactly i bought my piranha's as babies, had them over a year, they were finally about 8-10" monsters but i just got bored of them. I got bored of not having any tankmates, and they just sat there unless they were eating. Also they are a very ugly fish haha. They were very cool at first, and they were awsome to watch them grow, they grew pretty fast but yes i did get bored, now im in to cichlids and saltwater!

I don't find them borring at all I guess it just depends on what you want them to do.

piranha's , for the most part, aren't 'agreesive', they're just hungry.

Yes piranha can be boring. I've kept a shaol of caribe, and solitary serras like blacks, manueli. My current collection is 1 10 1/2" diamond black, 1 8 1/2" diamond black, 1 manueli and a sanchezi. I prefer serras because of their shape, colouring etc. My best fish ever was an ATF. My future goal is to get another in a 360 gallon tank. Still wanna keep what i have though.
