pirahna are over rated.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They are pretty over rated, though.

if u thing there overated then keep about 15 to 20 of them and dont throw in no dumb goldfish or minnow throw in a large sunfish or bluegill and watch the fun.... i catch about a 7 inch bluegill with about 4 to 5 inches of girth and put him in with all my 2 inchers and they shred him.. its awesome..ill put my arm all the way to the bottom of a p tank if thers only 3 or 4 and they will run.. i will not do the same with a large number of them.
 
they are pussies of the tank my cons would kill him
they killed a very large oscar of mine but its cuz they had just hatched eggs
id personally prefer a pacu over pahranna
cheaper more agressive gets huge fast
up to 90 lbs
 
I dont know about anyone elses rbps but mine shred whatever hits the water and leave it in pieces or eat it completely,I was feeding them convicts for a while but my supply ran out so Im back to large feeders,beef heart,pellets,green beans,flake,...ect.krill.my previous trio took out various S/A cichlids that people gave me that swore up and down they would kill my fish.Like always they wound up trying to breathe with no organs (kinda hard when youre hollowed out) anyways thats my experience with these guys.Right now I have 4 four to five inchers and 7 2-3inchers.
dont feed them cons
ur wasting a beautiful fish
so just dont they are my favorite cichlid
and i bet if the pahranna was with other fish hed be less agressive
 
they are pygo's is what your problem is. if you wanted aggression then you should got a serrasalmus species. if you want a cool feeding frenzy to watch then you want pygo's.
 
If you think P's are pussies, keep your ignoant opinion to your self.:headbang2
How about we try to keep fish bigger than inches long-then form an opinion.
