Piranha Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well I got a few spears left to plant, just not sure where I'm gonna put them....I wanted to put Lilly pads on top but I heard they require special lighting...I had a light fixture in my garage and simply bought some aquarium and plant bulbs from home depot... Not too sure if that's enough?

As far as the tank sz all I know its a 250 gallon. My friend let me have the tank,pump, & sump for free....he had an 8" spotted gar but it ended up dying on him and he gave up on the tank....I got the idea to make it a piranha/payara tank but that didn't last too long the piranha ate one of the payara's and now it's just a matter of time till they eat the other one.

But if anyone has any ideas, feel free to write them down! I'm new at this....

Does anyone know what other fish swim with piranhas in the wild? Doesn't matter if the piranha eat them I just want to replicate how they are in the wild...

Thanks again everyone....

I know oscars and convicts for starters
 
my lfs told me that floating lilies are fine.. and also that normal pond lillies do fine in tropical aquaruiums aswell..... but thats jus the opinion of a guy that works at my lfs i havnt got any yet as they have no floating and the pond lillies are crap looking.
whatever you use let us know what u think init.
 
in nature i think its jus red bellied pacusd that swim with piranhas..... its a defence mechanism they have from young
