Which one S. manueli to choose? :)

[Piraya]

I've the possibility to buy S. manueli piranha. There are two specimens for sale in a divided tank. One of them (number 1 on the pics below) is more calm, a little less active but he eats more and catching a smelt quicker. The second one (number 2 on the pics) is very active (the seller says that the fish has ADHD ) and he is constantly attacking a divider trying to get into his neighbour so there is a bump on his chin. He eats less than the number 1 fish. Here are some pics (made by a phone by the seller so sorry for the crappy quality), which one of them would you chose?

I personally like Manni number 2, but number 1 is just as stunning.
One of my favorite piranhas. I love the looks and orange coloration on them.
Maybe one day, I'll get over my dislike of one fish per tank, it's the only reason why I haven't kept one.... but if I do a Manni is coming my way.
I love wide bar silver dollars because they look just like a manni.

AquaAlex1993, thanks for your opinion , I think that the mannie number 2 has more color on the cheeks I really understand you about your dislike of one fish per tank, fortunately I've got also a small community tank

I agree, the 2nd one has the most orange.

Manueli needs a large aquarium.

They also die easily, they need lots of O2... I lost my 6" one when the air pump malfunctioned.

I know I want to put 5'' manny into my 83g tank and upgrade some day

What a pity, poor fish

The 2nd one definitely has more orange, but he does have damage on his chin (the bump). The 1st one has less color, but he is in better condition. I'd go with the first one, and hope for more color in the end. I've never owned a piranha, but I enjoy seeing them at aquariums.

Yes, the second manny has a chin bump because he is constantly hitting the divider trying to get into the first one The first manny is more calm and doesn't try to attack his neighbour through the divider.

Will this heal by itself?
