Yes! Ordered a Spilo Piranha today!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They came!!!! OMG!! Photos w/o flash.. More to come when they are settled in and gain color.
 
Im sure the color will come back when he gets out of the bag.. Cant imagine being in a bag for 24 hours and going through 4 states.

Yeah he swam around alot at first, then sat on the sand leaning on the plant, and now hes up by the surface behind the filter not using energy..

He seems to be a good fish, we will see. I hope he has a good personality and is aggressive.

And this is a red spilo piranha, not a red belly... His nody is different and colors will be different.. I will get more photos of him later.. Thanks for posting.
 
thanks for showing him too us, carnt wait to see its progress feeding an fattening up
 
Oh I will faten him up, he will be one of the most gorgeous Red Spilo's you will ever see. :) I turned off the lights to help settle him in.
 
Here are some more.

Enjoy!:)
