hey I have 2 wolf fish ,, in a 90 gallon tank ,,, and would love some piranha for the tank,, please let me know if you have some ... I would need them to be at least 3 inches ..... thanks alot .. also i have a 13 inch jaguar I could trade if its local...
 
I don't know the laws in Virginia, BUT if they are legal....

They are in EVERY SINGLE pet store in Maryland, more or less.
 
In case you don't drive,

I recommend Massive Aggression - one of our vendors. I know the man personally - He'll do good by you.
 
realy every pets store in maryland ,,, SWEET!! did not know that... thanks alot ...
 
What sex is your jaguar? If its a female and you want to sell it, I know someone that will want it
 
P's are illegal in VA, so be careful...
 
you SHOULD NOT mix piranhas with non-piranhas, over time. they will simply kill anything you put in with them eventually. you might have luck for a little while if the piranha is much smaller, BUT, eventually it will kill it's tankmates.

if you go for a smaller piranha, also, the wolf-fish might kill it.

basically there are two main genus' of piranha, pygocentrus and serrasalmus. you can more than 1 pygo per tank, 20-30g/piranha is the general rule. serras, with a few exceptions and if done by advanced aquariasts, can have only have 1 fish per tank, and, like i said, if remotely close to the size of other fish in the tank will kill it sooner than later.

some people have success for a while with exodons/buck tooth tetras in with piranhas, they are real nasty and aggressive little fish. the reason though is that they are VERY fast, and the piranha keeper keeps his piranha's belly full :)

good luck, there is ton of info on these fish if you look around.
