Just curious. what size tank can you keep one solo? Say a specimen is only 2-2.5”.. i wanted to know how fast the growth rate is. Can you keep a 2” in a 75g for 1 year or 2?
so it got startled, hit glss and died?The growth rate is very slow. I had a 4-5” in a 70 for about 2 months before it smashed itself suddenly and died.
I imagine that is what happened. It was super healthy. Eating pellets like a champ, then next day went to show it to a friend and it was dead. All the other fish were good parameters were fine.so it got startled, hit glss and died?
Oh ok.. I never thought they were skittishI imagine that is what happened. It was super healthy. Eating pellets like a champ, then next day went to show it to a friend and it was dead. All the other fish were good parameters were fine.
Most characins are. I lost a piranha the same way.Oh ok.. I never thought they were skittish
Ehh.. I have piranhas and I thought I’d try something different.. if it’s a skittish as piranhas then I guess I won’t even bother. ty for the infoMost characins are. I lost a piranha the same way.
I found that if you put a background on the sides and back it helps a lot. Only gives them one view. I guess the sides make them feel something going to chase them maybe. Not sure but they still a little skittish but not as much.so it got startled, hit glss and died?

Did you have a current/ wave maker? They seem to park right in front of it most of the day when you have those. They eat a lot more as well. So you can see some nice growthThe growth rate is very slow. I had a 4-5” in a 70 for about 2 months before it smashed itself suddenly and died.
