Just wanted to see who is breeding which species and to what degree they are doing it. What is the current setup the breeders are in? Are they alone... tankmates?
 
I know bruner is doing it in his secret lab, x-breeding all kinds of crazy p's with laser gun attached to their back lol j/k but he is really breeding lots of p's, rather he wants it or not his p's just keep making babies.
 
Shhhhh Jp n its lazer sights not lazer guns, I'm saving the lazer guns for when I get a financial backer.I have to have something to bring to the table when I get funded. Besides they keep burning holes in their tanks with lazer guns. My see through piranha is finished but I can't find him now! My blackberry belly n my blueberry belly piranhas are almost perfected.I'm even working on my personal favorite n I know some female keepers might like my pink piranha which will be in your Lfs soon.I thought my glow piranha was gonna be the next big thing but he burnt out on me.I sucessfully extracted DNA from the newly discovered MEGA-PIRANHA n have spliced them with my rbp eggs n currently waiting for MEGA-FRY to emerge.I might have to use my 535gal as my mega-fry tank! Hatch out 1/4 of brine eggs a day. But everyone will want a pond, or flood their basements to get one of my ancient mega-piranha!
 
Currently I have some reds breeding n golds growing out n thinking of yellow belly pygos or cariba to start growing out also(haven't decided yet might go with both)I am working on a couple things but I won't bore anyone with the details as its confidential imformation anyhow.I have a couple thousand rbp around here somewhere n various other piranhas also.most of my mutant piranha get fed right back to all my fish only the freakiest of the freaks get a tank to growout in.the normal piranha get sold to a sellect few Lfs here in the Midwest.

Ive been thinking about selling my reds and getting a stingray for a bit, or something more exotic for a piranha. Any ideas Br? God knows you have a list of livestock. What do you think would look good in my 120? Im plotting on getting a 200+ here within 6months i think.
 
hmm bruner your light up p burnt out that sucks glow in the dark one is still goen here.
 
Idk. I like piranha! P-bass, Sal pretty cool. Gatf awesome but better plan bigger than 200gal.never had a ray. It totally up to you! Personally I like piranha n arowana. Maybe rays for bottom, arowana on top n datnioide everywhere else? Or piranha tank be nice.lol
 
Enemy I wuld stick with piranha or pbass. I think for Ray unless its a tea cup you need bigger than 200 gal. But idk much bout rays.

30w/30h is about right for a ray, so yes mine is way to small. i wanted to get something bigger and put a aro in there, but ive seen stories that the ray will kill the aro. I duno, ive seen videos of aros and rays. I havent looked up much info on dats tho, not sure how aggressive.
 
yeah like I said I don't know much about rays I have done some reading on em but that's about it I don't think a ray will kill an aro but idk. Dats can be agro but they grow slow compaird to aros and will probly become food. Beutiful fish tho. I to have been looking at rays but can't aford the tank for them lol.
On a side note 200 gal wuld work for 2 rhoms if you divide it 50/50. Mabe try to get a male and female mabe they wuld breed using this trick. Divide the tank put a gap at the bottome that neither can get thru and put a piece of slate if the female lays eggs the male will more than likly fertalize them. You wanted more exotic piranha. Get blue or blacj dimond or Peruvian black. Wht ever one strickes your intrests.
