so here is a couple pics after the fact, took these today and took pics of the tank mates, and in the pic of the pleco, you can see why i had to remove the undergravel filter, and i removed all the substrate period, i plan on doing sand when i up the filtration.
there are two pink cons in the tank as well, both look exactly alike, they give the piranhas something to do. i did a 75% water change and got all the gravel out of the tank, i will need to do a second water change in a couple days to get all the soot out, but for now they look happy and im happy.
all these pics were taken with my phone, so sorry about the quality.
are they maculatus, all of them have the purple sheen with a nice bright gold, and solid colors. i love these fish to death, and the little speckling/glitter looking stuff is getting more and more.
