Red belly tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nice planting job you got there:)


im a huge fan of live plants especialy heavily planted aquariums


lots of plants+ piranhas= heaven lol
 
Nice fish.

I have to admit every time I see pics of juvi RBPs I want another one. I'm such a pet geek :P
 
Great looking tank!
I miss my set up. I had a 55 with white sand, planted and with drift wood. One of my best tanks i think.

Great set up, they will look amazing as they get bigger going through the plants.

I use a combination of UGF with a water circulating pump. And I do 50% water changes everyday. But if you plan having a heavily planted tank, you can go easy on the water change coz I believe the plants do quite a good job.
 
Thanks every1 for your comments.

I guess my plants have made the piranhas less skittish. They swim up to the front and eat while I'm sitting in front of them with lights on. And I use a powerhead, which makes them go crazy swimming against the current after a nice meal.

Can anybody please tell me how exactly do these creatures behave in a shoal of 6+. I'm worried about if they'll have any territorial issues and fight against each other. I was told that piranhas when kept in large numbers do not fight for territory. Is this true?
 
Howdy and :welcome: to MFK!

Nice set-up. That should last a while. Unlike the molly. You can say bye-bye to the molly...
