Hi ya Gubbz and FFire, nice to see you at MFK, as you can see some people here don't like piranha, so what I don't care forflowerhorns or oscars but there is nothing wrong with those that do, (well, some of them maybe). I like piranha, I just don't expect them to be hyper killing machines instead of somewhat lazy but efficient killers. I just like the way they look and the way they sort of hover in place.
Trimming their lips is a practice that I have heard of before and do not like, the one lfs that I knew of that did that was one I refused to shop at, it gained him a few quicker sales among newbies but lost him a lot of long term customers, That kind of thing is really bad taste. Why show off their teeth like that unless the only reason you want them is for bragging rights?
I hope that if it ever comes up again you don't do it.


well said guppy.

i kept p's for quite a few years and still like them i even set up a tank for a firend recently with some reds.
its true they do not live upto the myth buts that not what they are about imo.
as for answering the original question a vbig shaol in a big tank is very impressive but i think they are illegal in florida so you will have problems getting them anyway.
do have a look about the site though because if they are not available there are plenty other fish you can get that are just as entertaining.
welcome to MFK
