Which Nestor's ? That's the store I frequently visit!! The one on portage though. He's amazing

Also to add. I now have one piranha in the tank (I posted a picture with two but it wasn't working out) so I kept one and have other to Nestor's :) he's quite happy well fed and very attentive

Nice to see some people stick up for me ;) I believe my piranha is happy earl thy and growing perfectly.
 
There is 5 of them. Had 6 raised from fry in a 55 gallon. I lost one about 2 weeks after I moved them to the 75 gallon. One in the picture. They are now in a 125 gallon. :D

Go straight for a 75 or 90, they out grow 55/60s way to fast. if you wanna add any, do it now. They will 99.9% always kill the new additions... they are pretty skidish, also. So if you want aggression, these are the wrong fish.

Are there any stores in the US to get them from/do you need any kind of wildlife exemption/or customs?


Edit: Just got a 105G that just needs cleaning and resealing, omg I would love to do a Red Belly Tank.

Edit two: wow, I can own them where I live, but I need a $1200 license to do so and file a yearly report. I hate irresponsible fish keepers.
 
I just saw them at the Wet Spot in Portland, Oregon. Beautiful fish but I don't think I have the space for them.

They generally do online sales and ship, but you'll have to research your own local laws.
