NOPE ! Im all for people going oh my piranhas they are scary ! Then I usually go yea... I hate them big babys and chase them around with my hand in the tank. Fun for people who know NOTHING about fish... Skiddish things they are. SO to toss in my SA/MA tank, I wanted something TOUGH that can handle the jag. I thought some peacock bass, but they are super popular. I also only have a 180 atm and dont see me getting a bigger tank for atleast a year. So my buddy who is tearing down his 75 gallon has 8 exodon paradoxus... Awh yea theis guys act like the piranhas you see in the movies ! So im picking up 8 of them all around 4 inches. The jag is 8 but im hoping that the number of them will even out the playing field. Also taking his 75 gallon :) Upgrading my 20 gallon reef tank into the 75 gallon awh yeah ! Fish and tank for 60 bones !

Oops my phone isn't letting me view the pics and I assumed it was of the fish. Wasn't sure, sorry if that was the case. Are they in the tank yet? How's aggression?

yea its of the fish. Hopefully I get the tank tomorow. They will be going in the 180 with the jag and the 75 will be turned into a nice reef tank.

just some google pics of the exodon paradoxus not the accuall fish yet.

P's and jags? Hopefully the jag can't fit the p's in his mouth or else you will just be throwing in a school full of snacks

no they are not piranhas... the simple name for them are buck tooth tetras... they get about 6 inches and are wicked fun to keep.... Also nah he doesnt bother smaller fish for some reason... any thing he finds a threat so close to his size or bigger he will either kill or bully lol. So hopefully they are mouth size !
 
nice pick ups, how aggressive are them things ?
 
I prefer my P's, but I can appreciate the unique appearance. nice pick up.
 
really not as bad as they are made out to be. Definitly not a community fish but with very aggressive fish I think they know they would get whooped so they mind their own buisness lol.
