I want discuss about my fish

[genetkev]

Hi Friends,
I have a red belly pirahana in a 10 gallon tank (yes i know its small) and no matter what i put in there, he eats. The longest survived fish was a plecko that was about twice the size of him and lasted about 3 months. Smaller pleckos last about 2 weeks. Anyone have any suggestions as to what i could put in there?

i had pirahnas for 12 years and they will eat anything you put in the tank.

I had 5 red belly's in a 65g between 2" and 5" some time ago. They ate my red eared slider turtle, and various other things that I would put in there, mice and such. Kinda felt bad about the turtle though cuz I "borrowed" it from a display down town Calgary, which is where I ended up putting the last 2 of them after they ate each other. Good luck finding tank mates for him. Pacu's would be a good start but keep in mind they get very large.

If you want tank mates for him (or her) you would need a larger tank, you will want a bigger tank anyways because he will get bigger.

I have never gotten piranhas because looking ahead you are very limited for future tankmate options and will be stuck with the piranha until he dies.

i had gourami's in my tank for 2 years with pirahnas. never touched them as long as i had them.

You definitely need to buy a bigger tank and should not be even considering adding more fish until the pirahna has been rehomed.
