My Piranhas

Hey guys!!!!! How r u? I can't believe I'm saying this but I've sold all my tanks and fish except one 10g tank; I'm very busy with my MBA classes and job and it was getting really tough for me to maintain so many tanks, so I thought I should sell my fish as I can't take care of them properly anymore! I'm so sorry and so upset for my fish now, I miss my tanks; but there is nothing I can do! My classes started last week; I've resigned from the previous job and joined a cell-phone service provider company called WARID Telecom; it's a new company in our country. I enjoy working here. I'm doing my MBA on Human Resources Management.

And I've turned my 10g goldie tank into a piranha tank!!!!! Relax guys these r our local piranhas; they grow up to only 2-3", bought 7 of'em; couldn't resist. My friend Tony inspired me to do this; I was getting bored with goldfish. These piranhas r aggressive!! They r omnivorous, they bite everything! They bite the rocks, they bite the driftwoods, they bite the plastic plants and even the Wallpaper. Very interesting fish and I enjoy watching them when I come back home after working hard all day. I feed them pellets, dried worms, beef, mutton and shrimp. They get really messy during feeding time.

N.B.: The Pleco in the pic is not mine; I'm just keeping it for a month for my friend as he is on a vacation.

Re: My Piranhas

yeah it's crowded ! but these r local piranhas , i don't think they will grow any bigger, if they does i will return them. can't maintain a huge tank at the moment, that's why i sold my 75g! may be i'll get one after i complete MBA.

First of all this post was last active 2 months ago, which is kinda reviving a dead post.

Secondly, to my knowledge all pirahnas get atleast 6 inches, there are no "smaller" pirahnas.

they were local piranhas, Indian perhaps! we have original piranhas too in our country; most people do not understand the difference between Pacu and Piranha here, Government has recently banned both Piranhas and Pacu in our country. but they r still sold illegally in some places.
