Under Water The Fish Dont Stink
About Yourself:
Sorry, I dont have much technical advice for the new hobbyist because I am somewhat new to this sport myself. I once had a 55 gallon but had to relieve myself of it for the sake of space. Now I have a new custom style tank that has very unusual dimensions. It was and is quite a challenge interior decorating and mantaining such an unusual tank. But I was up for it. I love being different. At the end of the day i know I have a one of a kind.
Fish Kept:
Scientifically known as Pygocentrus Nattereri "AKA" what the Layman calls the "Red Bellied Piranha."
Corals/Plants:
Silk Type Plants and Natural Driftwood. Tree roots and ohhh yea Black River Stones to set the mood.
Tank Size:
90 gallons
Advice:
Visualize it Before You Build it and please, keep it Natural. Your Fish will be happier. Just remember the saying. "Nourish your Fish tank and it will Nourish your Mind."
Description:
My Juvenile Red Belly Tank. Look closely. Different levels of stone and Drift roots give my fish plenty of hiding spaces under the ground and under the Roots.

Description:
This tank has been up and running for a lillte over 6 month now.I got this tank from a buddy who was moving and couldn't take his tank or his fish. He ended up gettiong a smaller tank, So He wanted his fish back. I went out and started buying fish that I thought looked good. Now that there are bigger, I can tell they are all males and the Aggression in the tank Is very high. I have decided to start cleaning house and only keeping a few. In the end I hope to have 3-5 Species with a ratio of 1m/2or3f. I just got a new filter and some more tuffa rock. I still need more rock
