Black Piranha

[konrad05]

Just thought I'd share some picture of my new setup from my old unused tank. I got only one black piranha in there, and that's all there will be. I know this girl at the fish store and she got me 50% off, so I paid 25 bucks CAD. Right now he's only about 2-3 inches but I can feel the fury growing already...

This picture is of the tank setup, the picture quality is really bad, I had to use my old camera...

And here he is, the lfs said he'd be shy for a bit, after that, I should watch my fingers very carefully..

um arent piranhas schooling fish lol and you cant have them school in that tank.

 

[konrad05]

Another shot... I wouldn't want to be inside that tank!

Well, Red bellied piranhas are specifically schooling along with caribe's sometimes. However, black piranhas should be kept alone or else they'll tear eachother apart

Right now he's in a 25 gallon, as soon as he grows a little bit, I'll have a big 55-65 gallon tank waiting for him

Picture: Amongst all the fury, there are about 13 guppy fry left over from the previous fish!

Thats going to grow to be one mean fish so watch your hand! As said these can only be kept single due to their extreme aggression, great tanks.
