Man the P section has been incredibly dead lately, so thought I'd start a new thread.


So what got YOU into the Piranha game?! Pics if you got them!



My first Piranha was a red belly, some guy on Craigslist had a couple, couldn't pass it up!

From there I obtained 4 more!

Here's the shoal now, they grew incredibly fast, re homed one awhile back, he was just too aggressive and never fit in with the shoal.

and after some time I picked up a baby serrasalmus rhom!

If I had the time and $$ I would try to collect every kind ;)

YES! You definitely should! They are very interesting and aggressive predators! Are they babies? If so id get 4-5 of em.

All piranhas are messy eaters, plus very aggressive, for the most part that's what makes them hard to take care of and maintain good quality water! Besides rbp imo a rhom is good, there are many different varieties! Check out this blue diamond
