    Wow, I could never feed a fish to another fish! But those suckers look HUGE!!!

    Aren't they illegal along with Baracuda's? Don't know why I think they are, but maybe its just in my state?

    In most states, yes they are, but here in Oregon they just became legalized. Though even when legal, the petshops have been selling them for ages! It seems like now that they've been legalized their popping up everywhere and people who don't know how to care for them, or use them to entertain themselves (feeding them fish mice, full sized rats etc.) are buying them.

    Pirahnas are great fish, but be careful. They can be rough to deal with.


    I'll stick with their more docile cousins, the Oscars.

    Do you breed your own feeders?

    NO. It's bad enough watching them eat. I'm always saving some here and there, LOL. In fact, I bug my bf to feed the feeders all the time. I absolutely LOVE Goldfish!

    Last week when my bf was cleaning the tank one bit him!

    Kind of the reason I might just stick to fantails. ( it has got me thinking though )

    Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole

    Eek! lol I was reading a post from another pirahna owner on another site who stuck his head in his tank because he thought his water smelled bad. One of his "boys" jumped out and attached himself to his nose. lol His nose looked awful, but it was a funny story.
