For sure .. post pics of your progress. I would be interested in how you go about doing it. Sounds like you've been having great fun with it so far... oh.. the joys of buying used sometimes....

Red Belly Piranha Cynotilapia Afra

Just curious where you picked them up. I wouldn't mind grabbing some more females. thanks Fred

Looking good... You must have a really good camera, although, I don't see any discus in the 120 so it can't be that good.

I've seen them at WalMart -
Really nice pics and fish. :thumbs:

Get a couple of piranhas???

Yep, 2 years old, and already doing water changes.. He's quite the tough little guy. One 12 pack of pop isn't enough for him to carry, he tries for two. I think they should have named him BamBam.

i kept these guys well fed and i would put my hands in the water. the never seem to even try to attack.. I fed these guys all they wanted daily too. And, being so skittish, I have no problem putting my hand in the tank with them anytime (although I'm hesitant to do it with the elong). I'm just saying that I wouldn't put any fish that I really cared about keeping in with them. After what they did the last time I increased the temperature to let them breed, I'm not sure I want to let them do it again. Even though, all last summer two pairs were nesting on average twice a week for 4 or 5 months with no problems. Not even fin nips. But, I guess all fish, like people, are different and yours were compatible. He might be lucky too, and have it last.

Sort of what I was trying to say. I had two breeding pairs in the tank and no injuries while they were breeding but one day boom...The fifth one was gone. I also have a pleco in with them for almost a year and they don't seem to bother it, but, I'm pretty sure that it will one day be food also. Fred

Maybe for a while... but not long term. Piranha have a habit of eating their tank mates , even other piranha. I had 5 around the 8 inch mark in a 120 gal for close to a year. Then in a matter of 30 seconds or so, I had 4 and one with the back end gone. I had to put that one down. Right now, I have one in a qt tank with a one inch bite out of it's side. So, I'd say any fish I cared about, I wouldn't put in with a piranha. Although, you never know, the two oscars might take out a solitary piranha. Either way though, you'd be out a fish.

Thanks spcy, figured that but wasn't positive..
-
Say if you did put a divider into the tank. Would it be of any benefit at all if you had two females holding and you put them both in together with the males separate? Thanks
-
Mine loved it in the tank with guppies and mollies. There was never any problem with fighting between them.
-
I was wondering how you got that yellow tint in the water?? -roll-
-
Good looking pics... Looks like he settled into his new tank nicely. Also, really looks like i'm going to have to start a "save the elephant" campaign
-
So... are they still there?????? update
-
Nice looking fish.. You take better pictures with the camera than I do. I'm curious though.. where did you get that one with the long snout and the ivory tusks?? Must be a real rare breed.. -roll-
-
How about if you put the saw blade on backwards like you would for vinyl siding, would that work?
