Seems to. Me you have some growing up to do.. if you knew anything about piranhas and or aquarium and pond systems you would have realized that this scenario is really unlikely.. like stated the bill of runnning a system of such specifications would be tremendous, not only with heating but with filtration aswell
Seems to me you have some reading to do. If you had actually read the thread, you would see that I know that heating the moat/pond would be very difficult and decided that if I did do this I would only keep them in it during the spring/summer so that heating would not be so much of a problem. I have also considered, if going through with this, changing my stock to a hardier fish other than piranha. I own three Red Bellies that are healthy, happy, and I take excellent care of them. So you should perhaps read a thread before posting and looking like a total smug douche bag. ;)

That two different things. A raccoon has to fight for a living and a cat doesnt so the racoon would win with no problem.

i also like the idea of bringing them in, in the winter. but i think that pacu would be a better choice. if your looking for a wow affect go with pacus because regular ppl wont kno the difference.;)

Nah, my cat has had tussels with raccoons before and walked away the victor.

Yeah but i will know ): I'm just not a pacu person :( it's their faces. I'm kinda really liking the sturgeon idea tho
 
I read the entire thing... what makes you think that I didn't? I merely commented on the original post, which in my opinion is a very juvenile question. I also stated just a few of the reasons why this wouldn't work. Its also just my opinion that if you are as versed in piranha keeping as you portray yourself to be, you would have known you couldn't keep your pygos in this setup from the get go, thus there is no reason for this thread.. I don't claim to know more then the next somewhat intelligent guy but I also learn the ins and outs of the specie I am currently keeping and if you are infatuated with piranhas as you say in you signature I believe you should also know how you should and should not keep them...

Please refrain from the name calling as well because I could have just congradulated you on digging a hole in your trailor park and filling it with "flesh eating monster fish" and standing next to it drinking forties with all your somewhat retarded , insane clown posse wanna be friends, but I didn't.

"In the United States of Americahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_America, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Act of 1918."


Are you aware you committed a crime? You're lucky DNR did not find out.


This is why me and all my hunting buddies hate cats. Feral and stray cats cause sooooo much damage to ecosystems. Fair game when they're in the woods.


They call them house cats for a reason.
 
Also piranha are horrible aquarium fish. Scared to death, inactive, totally boring except feeding time. The novelty of "PIRANHAS" wears off quick when you realize they are totally frightened and insecure unless they are in a school of 60. Plus they only eat about every 2 or 3 days. So the one thing you bought them for(feeding time), you can only do 2 or 3 times a week.



Maybe every piranha I bought was fishraped and scarred for life lol. I had a hard time with them.

Agreed on the fair game part lol.
