he survived for almost 2 months, i jus pulled them out because the piranhas are growing so damn fast i almost saw death in the near future. i can't believe how big my ps are after only less then 2 months. its amazing to me. i feed them such a variety, shrimp, smelt, silver sides, hikari gold, hikari staple, krill, rosy reds, super-gold hai feng color enhancing pellets.

did u read my post? i pulled them out.

large piranhas dont go for small tetras, why? because there so small n so fast, its not worth the energy it takes to actually catch n eat one. so they dont usually bother.

i thought that too...about 50 neons ago

 

[fishingaddict]

so are there any fish that can be tank mates with pirahnas?

 

[Pfisherman]

there are quite a few, including (but not completely limited to) tiger barbs, silver dollars and tinfoil barbs. these are fast moving fish that dont stand still long enough for the Ps to eat them. Large plecos can also do well usually as long as you put them in large with small Ps

exadon tetras seem to work good with piranhas. sell a lot of them to people at the store where i work. and have yet to have any1 complain.

Aside from plecos, i have seen small fast tetras living with adult piranhas.
But the tetra are for ever running and hiding.

The Pbass will not last forever, but no one can blame you for experimenting.
After all, you may get lucky and have some tame/laid back piranhas.
