Hey angel breeder leave the chick alone man she's obviously providing better for them then the quality of life they'd have in the wild better diet and water quality

LOL...no she isn't and neither are ANY of us.
that's like me saying you would be better off in a 6x9 cell eating a limited and boring diet.


Personally I find piranha's to be rather boring unless in a large, 12+, group in a huge tank, then you actually begin to see some natural behaviors. One or two in 3 or 4 foot long tank will NEVER behave naturally.

I had a friend who had 16 of them in a 200 gallon tank with a 36" silver arowanna and they behaved a lot differently, very aggressive and not shy in the least.
He used to treat them with feeder rats every couple of months, very messy, but carnage like in the movies.
