NeoFuture Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 there not actually as agressive as people make out and the only strip flesh when hungry, you can feed them and place your hand in water afterwards and they will ignore you, its an urban ledgend that they are killing machines, its mainly due to them being hungry and underfed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can cope with them then I will take them off your hands gladly. I'm only over in Southsea so transporting them won't be too traumatic for them. What sort of timescale we looking at?

vvteye Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Looks like they've been munching on each others fins, or is that them damn snappin' turtles. ferocious little bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Piranhas always seem to have split fins and scars. I used to have 6 of them in an aquarium a few years ago. Very nice active fish and a good talking point. They arent very pretty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Dug out my spare tank and it's smaller than I remembered (2.5ft x 1ft x 1ft) so probably best I don't take them as I don't think it would house them sufficiently. Sorry to muck you about, I'd love them but can't justify buying a bigger tank at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
