all from being fine and swimming 5 min ago. Half water change 2x a week,70 degree water, 55 gallons eating salmon slices for about 6 months. All other 3 are fine, any guesses?
Within 5 min, a piranahs eyes swelled and he died
- Thread starter 100gallons
- Start date
70 degree water is pretty cold that probably played a factor.
Are they eating just salmon slices ? If so i say nuitritional deficiency.
They need a variety of other foods in their diet as well (check the piranha nuitrition sticky for some examples).

yeah...i wig out when my temp drops below 82F... Keep the water water temp warmer and check your levels...you'll be fine...sorry for your loss bro...
Check your water, up your water temp. You can cut back on the water changes alittle. Doing a 50% water change twice a week is alittle excessive.
YES I AGREE WATERS TO COLD TRY HEATN IT UP I KEEP ALL MY TANKS AROUND 85 TO 86 ALL YR AROUND AN HAVE NO PROB...AN TWICE A WEEK ON THE WATER CHANGE IS TO MUCH THATS ONLY GOOD FOR MANNYS AN U EVEN HAVE TO WATCH THAT WITH THEM ...ALSO SALMON IS REALLY NOT GOOD FOR P..S CAUSE OF THE OIL IN IT AN IT IS FATTY MAYBE AS A TREAT BUT NOT AS A MAIN COURSE TRY THEM ON SOME SMELT OR TOLOPIA...TURNIN UP THE HEATERS WILL MAKE UR FISH EAT MORE...
