Description: I have a 120 gal tank and i have 10 Piranhas and 1 pacu living in it. I have 2 emperors 400 and a 150 wet/dry keeping it clean and healthy.

Advice: Fish are like dogs and cats u just cant take them out for walks but u can train them and love them. So get fish that u can really keep and not just get them and when they get to big let them go in the river, pond, or lake etc.

Fish Kept: 1 big fat Pacu and 10 Piranhas a black knife fish that hides all the time.

Corals/Plants: 4 plastic hanging plants and 2 long vine plants

Tank Size: 120 gallons

About Yourself: Well I moved from South Carolina and I couldn't have piranha down south so. When I moved here I knew that I could so I just jump right on it and went all out. Went to Knoxville, Tenn and paid 150.00 for 10 piranha's. And as of 6/15/2007 they just turn a year old. And my occupation I work as a night manager at walmart its just great. So to all they are not bad fish. The tank is really clean all the time even doe i feed them goldfish, chicken wings, mice and fish pellets.

Nice fish! I'm usually hesitant about seeing pirranahs on this site, but it looks like you have sufficient enough filter power in that beast! One thing though, when your fish outgrow your tank DON'T release them into the wild, aquarium raised fish can carry a huge amount of disease native to the land and could wipe out a whole ecosystem, just give them to someone else or back to the pet store you got them from.
