Howdy & Thanks !!!

How many do you think I could put i'n a 60"x18"x24", 110 gallon?

You have the length of the tank going for you, but that's about it. Mine are now a foot long, still not maxed out. 18'' depth would become tight. Besides, my 220 gal was beyond capacity of absorbing waste when they were ~8'', with nitrates spiking over 200 ppm in between water changes. I can only maintain them with a 24/7 drip. A tank half the volume would support less than half as many fish. Maybe only a single specimen.

i always enjoy seeing your tank. it just puts me in a good mood just lookin at the pics

Very kind of you.

what plants you using?

Sagittaria subulata
Ceratopteris thalictroides
Cryptocoryne Wendtii and C. crispatula
Echinodorus rubin and E. ozelot
several bulbs of Crinum natans
Anubias barteri

Bulky piyaras!

Thanks man. It's been fun to see little shiners grow and fill in to become /\/\onsters!

One of the most beautiful tanks I've ever seen, and this comes second to takashi amano. You wouldn't think that suck powerful fish could live in such a picture perfect tank.

Great aquascape and awesome thick fish

Nice setup. I would have never imagine piranhas can such a lush green environment. Keep up the good work and keep the photos coming.

So even with the vegetation in there you were getting up to 200ppm? how often and what do you feed them?

love the planted aquascape and the massive pygos.

I'll bet you can't wait until these bad boys hit 18-20"!
