I thought for sure he was a goner. Get him go a few weeks though, fed them well and he actually grew most of it back. He was a LITTLE deformed, but they bred just fine so I guess he was okay. Amazing thing about fish, they can grow shit back, they regenerate nerve tissue. Pirhanas are amazing fish.. I love watching them feed.
I used to enjoy when people borrowed money or other things from me, I'd get collateral and put it in a plastic bag in with Bert and Ernie (their names). They knew me and wouldn't attack (they get to know your smell, besides they generally won't attack unless they're starved or cornered) but anyone else even walked near the tank and the fucking water boiled (they knew my footsteps too).

Wow nice work! I tried several times to breed red bellies but failed. I had 2 pair up once but they never bread.
I did however breed Clownfish, they paired up in my Reef Tank, the eggs hatched but the brood did not make it. Too bad, there is good money in tank bread marine fish, and its fun to.
