Just got my 2 baby Piranhas in.
 

I have a 55 gallon fresh water tank in my office and just got 2 baby Piranhas for it.

I have a arowana,danio and some others don't know the name

my salt water tank is 135 gallons with sharks and eels etc.
just a small hobby of mine.

Any pictures?

there are two things in the world that smell like fish - one of them is fish... :2 cents:

And the other one walks funny?

very nice, need pics though

Nice hobby : ) Used to have sharks before I got lazy.......

I'll come over when it's feeding time. That's got to be a good show.

What type of shark do you have in a tank that size? Do you have more than one? Is the tank square? I have always wanted to get a shark but was told I would need a much larger set up.

hmm, well, who knows?

Right now I have a banded cat shark that was born in the tank bought it while it was still in the egg

I used to have 2 leopard sharks not to long ano but they got to big one jumped out of the tank and died and the other is in the pet store I bought it from its huge now. like 3' they are endangered now so very hard to get

there still babys do they don't really do anything. you need like 6 to get a good frenzy going.
thought it would be kool though to get a couple they are about an Inch 1/2

It would be so much to have them :thumbsup

That is cool to keep fish but the arowana alone should be in a tank larger than 134 gallons. The salt water shark should be in a 1000 gallon tank or larger.

Cool looking guy. Post some pics of your tank if you can

Guess that is why its at the petstore now ;)

Yep thats him.
I will take pics soon as I buy NEW camera mine got stolen at internext

I also have a huge atrium with 3 big ass iguannas with a big pond they jump into. I'll take pics real soon or maybe just do a video real quick

they built a huge tank for him...

I will get a tank large enough to get in so i can swim with them LOL

Where did you hear Leopard sharks being endangered? I see them all the time when I go free diving. They're definitely one of the coolest sharks to have in an aquarium. Is your Piranha aquarium brackish water?

i saw the shark this weekend, its bad ass. i hope roger fed him :(

You should get a big old tank built into your wall. Then get a few more girlfriends so you can make them take shifts swimming in it with him 24 hours a day.

The guys at the fish store told me they couldn't get them anymore cause they would just cut the mom and pull the babys out and kill the mother.
and they are endangered now.

and yes i put salt in the fresh water to make it brackish itsa aslo a good idea to do for any fresh water tank

Now is your chance to eat them before they get you

LOL yea I bought some more food yesterday..

Good call on the salt in freshwater. I used to add salt to my aquariums too. A small amount is good.

Pirhanas are amazing... I had two I got as babies, they ended up the size of dinnerplates.. and they bred too. I supplied pirhanas out west for a long time.. Hungry bastards though :)

Nice i got a 110 gallon tall salt water set up with pussy fish inverts and live rock.
:thumbsup

You should get some Gold or Red arrowanas for your business. Asians speeds thousands on them for good Feng Shui :) They are consider dragonfish, I think they are illegal in the States but they get smuggled in from Canada :winkwink:

Some pretty nice ones :)

That's sweet.. we had two at our office but one ate the other!!!

Maybe My Arrowana will bring me luck. I can always use lots of luck..

It's illegal to own paranhas you know. WTF why not just get normal fish not ones theat may somehow get into the ecosystem and fuck things up. Aren't gators bad enough to have to worry about? At least they are FROM florida.

Where and how did you get that piranhas?

They sell them openly in NJ..not illegal here..

Possibly in Southern states they might be banned in petstores.

Really depends where you live and as long as your responsible and don't release them into the wild, your fine :)

interesting fish.. am too afraid to have 'em around the house.. i remember when my niece threw all the cds the fish tank

thats very cool

need to see pics here...post some

big fish tanks rock. I would hate to keep them cleaned all the time though

You are an idiot. Last I checked they are legal to own in over 30 states. And the only way they would be a threat to anything is if they were released into the wild which I'm sure this person is responsible and wouldn't do that.

From what I've heard piranhas are not as vicious and scary as they are made out to be in movies. Especially when kept in captivity.

Good luck with your Piranhas RogerV.

how much did they charge you for piranhas there? I can walk 5 blocks and fish them from the river ! but they are not babies...

Damn those are kick ass :pimp

You ain't fooling me Roger - that ain't no hobby...

Small time affiliates who try ripping off your program get their hands put in the piranha tank..

Those that try it on a larger scale get tossed into the shark tank!

Going to Roger's house is like going on a field trip . . . everytime I am over he has some new fucking miniature dinosaurs in his hidden reptile lounge or some new fishys swimming in the tanks.

A boys gotta have toys

SHHH don't tell anybody :winkwink:

you should come out this weekend for the temtation island party on sunday
