jp- they were supposed to be 2 -3 inch when i got them but they were more like 1- 1 1/2 inches, ive had them since august and now the biggest one is 4 inches. they grow like weeds. probably because i do so many water changes.oh and if your wondering when youll be able to get caribes its june.aquascape will have them in stock. and they are the best. soooo cute when there young. i got 5 and one got eaten so i have 4 now. but that doesnt bother me considering how many losses my friend wes had. he started with 15 and now he has 4. my caribes are my favorite if i were you i wouldnt buy any fish until june until caribes are back they are really cool fish and you will be very happy.just make sure to keep em well fed there not named after a cannabalistic tribe of indians for nothing haha.
likeboost- nothing really the powerhead keeps all the nasty stuff afloat so the filters can suck it up. i reccomend going bare bottom to anyone with pygos.but black piranha dont really need a bare bottom they dont make a mess really if you clean the gravel often.
thanks for the comments..

i know it sucks. thats a really really good idea to stock up on fish they can feed on. by that time theyll be good and quarantined. i saw you were also interested in piraya, there cool but they cost soooo much plus they dont have the cool black spot. i was considering piraya but its really out of my budget. by the time there back in stock they wont be 35 $ because there really young so they should be like 20. ill be setting up a 210 for my current 4 that i have now and im getting more babys in june like you and ill put them in my 60 till there big enough to join my big 4 in the 210 caribes are addictive!!!!
wow, $20 each? I should be able to get a dozen without hurting my wallet too badly. hopefully they'll all live but if I end up with 8 in the worst case I'll be happy. 
Piraya is more expensive, one of the vendor has some ~3-4" at $75 each. I think the price is good but still much more expensive than caribes.
Hopefully my patience will be rewarded soon.

Those caribe looks awesome, what do you say posting up a feeding video.
thank you. its alot of maintanence but well worth it especially if your doing a 60% w/c every 3 days its not really necessary with the rhoms but it is with my caribes. that sounds like a really good idea i just got a new camera for xmas so when i get back for vacation on jan 5th ill post pics and the feeding video. any suggestions on what kind of fish to feed? and do you wanna see a rhom attack? a caribe attack? or both haha? i have a 20 gallon tank so ill quarantine the fish tonight before i leave. i was thinking goldfish but i wanna be creative
i hope i dont get a bunch of haters telling me thats wrong and im irresposible. once again very very good idea im always posting pics but no vids!! happy new year to all!
