    Yea $40 for a black rhom is a steal.. but the only way I'd own one is as an adult.. they just take too long to grow..

    Just adding my $0.02, but Mudfrog is right. Piranha really aren't what they're made out to be. It's their teeth that make them "vicious". Just watch when you feed your fish something like shrimp or worms, they go nuts too. The only difference is they don't have huge teeth, but they rip those worms to shreds.

    Piranha are only tough in numbers. I've seen a video of a piranha juvenile in a tank of gourami and he stayed in the corner. And I am 100% positive it wasn't a pacu if anyone is thinking that.

    The real predators hunt alone. One of my favorites are the South American Leaf Fish. They wait in a bush of leaves camouflaged, waiting for the perfect strike.

    Basically, 20 of anything versus 1 can usually take the kill.

    yea true but their really different though one real predetor would ussually eat the everything in one bite or chew and bite one it but pirahnahs will all rush and attack all at the same time yea and if it was one pirahana they are scared because one bite then all attack and like wait for each other to signal to attack lol
