also what's the easiest thing 2 breed and feed
2007-07-31 03:37:46 · update #1
Pirahna need at least a 55 gallon tank and a water temperature of 80 degrees F. They generally grow to be about 7 inches. When young they can be fed on flake foods and pellets, although when they grow to be adults they will need to be fed fresh fish and meat. You can feed them live feeder fish, although the ones from the pet stores are usually kept in horrible conditions and tend to frequently be diseased. It is safer to breed your own. The cheapest and easiest to breed are guppies. They are very prolific and will drop fry every 28-30 days. The fry will grow fast if kept at temperatures of 80+ degrees F. Below are some links on piranha care and an online store that sells piranha and has pictures.

First try spelling it right. Just to warn you, Phirana are the very dangerous. They do sell them to the public but only some breeds. They really can't live with any other fish because they are carnivorous

The easiest fish to breed, in my opinion, would be the platy/swordtail. I don't know much about pirahna's though, I heard that they are expensive. My cousin had one and if you own one you have to have a seperate tank with goldfish to feed it.

yeah they are tyically expensive and depending on where you are they may be illegal.
they get to about a foot (the red bellys anyways) and i woun't keep themin anything smaller than a 125, esecially cause they are shoaling fish and will most likely just hide uin the corner if kept with too few fish.

It's spelled piranha by the way. Sounds like you guys are really experienced to own one!
