Ky'smommy · 06-07-2006, 12:36 PM

my dads been hiding it from me but i found out he has piranah eggs. yes im so excited cause i wanted them to breed and now they finally are.
i told him i would empty my ten gallon just for the eggs.

any ideas on what he could do he doesnt have a spare tank. he could get one but not a used filter .. we both have all our tanks full so i dont know what do you reccomend for the filter part.

Congrats to your dad on the eggs. Sorry not familiar with piranha breeding.

Congrats...successful spawning of Ps is not that common.

Buy a new filter and swap in some of the cycled media from one of your current filters.

Very cool. You may be able to make some cash on the side breeding Piranha's. I'm a little jealous as I've never been able to breed anything.

Feed the fry microworms if they're big enough to eat them. They will live much longer in the water than brine shrimp, so pollution is minimized.
