How big is the tank their kept in mate?

[aiming430]

ive only got the 2 black piranhas left now (sold the rest)
and they have to be kept on there own ... they are very aggressive

their tanks are around 350 litres (75 ish gallons)

i used to keep pirahnas when i was about 16.. amazing fish... fed them on anchovies.. dead fish.. bits of chicken.. amazing fish.. i even put a small catfish in.. on the advise of the local pet shop.. crikey.. how much fun did the pirahnas have

[Rainey]

I want some..... how much is it to set up and keep or are they not for novices...

[mancity]

I REALLY want some

Gotta wait until it warms up first before I can give me mate my two carp

[aiming430]

real easy to take care of
get a decent sized tank... a big external filter and your pretty much good to go.


if your interested in having some,
then give me a shout as i sell piranhas and import them from south america

i can get hold of most species so let me know what you want

Why wait until it warms up fish are moved and stocked all year round as long as you do it right there is no problem with moving fish from water to water or tank to tank whatever time of year it is.

However moving fish from a pond to a tank can be very dodgy as the parasites & other bacteria etc which wild fish naturally carry can become far to concentrated in a tank
