How long do you give them? - Page 3

I had 5 when I was a kid. I put them with my old goldfish that I hated so that they would eat it. I hated the fish because it killed every other fish I added to the tank. Funny thing was, that goldfish killed all 5 piranhas and devoured 3.

Okay, don't criticise me for keeping a goldfish with tropical fishes. I was a kid and didn't know any better

What did you mean by that statement? What I got out of it is that you feed live but I honestly wasn't 100% sure on exactly what that statement meant. No offense intended and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Im not gonna look back, but someone said I was wrong for feeding live feeders to my Piranha.

But I read threads of people feeding live rodents to their snakes. This may be because the snake wont take anything else, as in this case with my Piranha.

PS - I dont have any reptiles right now, gimme a month or so

I saw a show on the discovery channel where a yellow anaconda was swimming accross a small river and piranas started attacking it and killed it in a matter of minutes. There was a group so Im guessing it was the red breasted piranah. You could set up a huge aquarium and have 100 piranas in it and throw a cow in and they would kill it. Maybe not right away but in a couple minutes.

Thanks

Are you a troll, an idiot, or just 4 years old? I try not to get into these "wars" as I strongly feel both sides have a "point", but your comments are whack.

Um...okay?

Even though a large group of piranhas are scavengers more than half the time...and when they do attack...the animal is wounded...or they are starving.

Wow....speechless truthfully?
