rb in a 20gallon?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
mine always in the same corner unless eating. i might add a pleco soon. im a lil worried thuogh he might get eatn
 
make sure your pleco is the same size or bigger. and that he has hiding spots that your piranha can't fit into. This will make him more active.

But, don't forget, piranhas aren't the most active fish in the hobby, but you can encourage them to move around.
 
will clay pots raise ph. i have tons of these at all different shapes. the pleco can hide in them.
 
I don't think they will, a lot of people use them in their fish tanks as hiding spots.

I used flagstones built into a small cave, and they worked out well enough....sometimes I catch the piranha and the pleco sharing the cave.
 
^^^ kinda like your avatar
 
If it helps I am putting my two 5 inch pacu for a week in my 10g and they really aren't happy, they have only been there 3 or 4 days. Piranha also move around a lot like pacu because from what I have heard their behaviour is similar, they seem to like the bottom a lot and come up very rarely.
 
the tank is nearly 3 times the length of each fish, what on earth are you talking about?
