I just returned from the Catfish Convention in Laurel Maryland and picked up 3 babies about 2 inches long for under $100 each at the Aquarium Center in Randelstown (near Baltimore). I still have my 9 year old who might be about 12 inches long.

Good luck with trying to find some Piraya, as far as i know nobody has them and, nobody is going to get some for a while You have better luck with getting Cariba, they also get pretty big.

nice one arapaimag.
a friend of mine and a member here bought a piraya on the shipment before mine and the last time i seen it it was huge around 11-12'', piraya are just impressive fish.
piraya are my favourite piranha and if i could set up a tank solely for piranha thats what i would buy again.
unfortunately i cant keep them with my RTG aro and dat LOL.

i cant remember the piraya season times now but due to the location they were a nightmare to get and were picked up after the rains susbside.

good luck finding small piraya, its almost impossible...im even on other sites and its very tough to get them as a juvi. if your going to throw 3 in your 75 at a size of like 4" by a year they could be about 8-9". a 75 isnt the hugest space for a fish but just enough
