JoeMan02 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 awesome looking tanks all around! @Alexraptor that piranha though!! Watch your fingers during waterchanges bro lol. @tunagirll thats such a cool aquascape! I love the simplicity of the rock work and the carpet, it looks very elegant. @Clown79 and @Tamberav Bettas and plants are always cool looking together idk why I've never kept one. @fishfreak0114 All super cool looking tanks! Us teens know what we're doing ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment
Alexraptor Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The aggression of Piranha's is way overrated, at least as far as your average Redbellied Piranha is concerned, the Solitary Serrasalmids on the other hand are a different story. I've been doing normal hands on maintenance for the past15 years I've had him and never been bitten. 4 Quote Link to comment

Very well cared for individuals that live into the low 20's are not unheard of either, and there are unsubstantiated anecdotes of Redbellies even living to be 30. 5 Quote Link to comment

Do you have a build thread? How hard are they to care for? I've admired his tank on IG for a bit now... (aka enough to make me want to research for possibly keeping one, I have always likes watching the pirahanas at the zoo's exhibit) 1 Quote Link to comment

They aren't hard at all, I keep mine on a staple diet of Hikari Gold Cichlid Pellets. Well rounded diet for predatory fish and doesn't mess up the tank like raw meats and live feeders would. One probably should have a larger tank than I have, but he's content there and at his age I simply don't have the heart to move him and stress him out needlessly. 2 Quote Link to comment

Alexraptor Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sorry, no. There used to be pretty dedicated communities for Piranha keeping but they have kind of gone dead. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draco Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My 9 gal cube. It has a pair of pea puffers that's about 2 years old, and 2 otos. In a 2 gal tank I am raising pond snails for the puffers 7 Quote Link to comment
