I saw a video once that had a bunch of hard hittin' thugged out super reds devour a lamb in just a few minutes......all that was left was a carcus, dogg....it was intense thats fo sho....
yea but if you are just interested in them for that reason they you will be disappointed and will not enjoy the fish
You talkin to me, dogg? I never said I enjoyed them for that. .I thinks pygos are pussyfish....the only time I ever saw them throw down was in a vid out in their natural environment devouring a carcus..it was bloody, thats fo sho....pygos in an aquarium are usually weak, that's fo sho...FormulatedFire said:
I have always used planted tanks with Ps to lower aggression between the fish but sometimes they trim the plants so it is better to stick with cheaper fast growing plants. I also like a fairly fine grade natural color gravel but have used a dark blue grey gravel with a wide band of scarlet gravel across it that looked nice. The tank also contained some fair sized rocks, several silver coins, and a few human bones from an anatomical skeleton.
Different species grow at different rates and sloe down as they get bigger. My experience with RBPs is that they will reach 6-7" in a year, and maybe 9" in two, then grow very slowly after that.
Try the video lounge for vids.
I have been in the aquarium hobby for a long time and I have just gottne some pirahna's and have had them for about 6 months and I can say I am very dissapointed.The species I have are not what everyone said they are and they are nice fish don't get me wrong but not the fish I expected.I have had snake heads and shovel nose cats and cichlids that have been more aggressive than what I have witneesed in the pygos I have.T hey are nice fish but I wouldn't buy them again if I had it to do over.
That's because they are not necissarily predatory fish... They are sacvengers. The clean up crew of the amazon... They are only extremely agressive in overpopulated areas.. Infact there are parts of the amazon you cannot step foot inwith out losing most of the lfesh off of it..
let them go humgry for a mintue..... See what happens..
this is a good thread b/c it lets the truth out about piuranhas.....pygos especially arent very agressive. they are only territorial. thats 2 different things.
Been keeping RB's for a couple of months now and they are about 7-8 inchers. All I can say is that they are a great fish to observe even though they are sometimes skittish I find that they are very aggresive when they are hungry.(gave them mice) Had to try it at least once. Sad to say that it's very hard to get rhoms in my country. I would love to get my hands on one.
