Can I house 7 RBP's in a 125, or 3 RBP's and 2 Cariba

 

[Judazzz]

Yup, sounds reasonable to me!

And btw: welcome aboard!

I have 4 rbp's and 2 caribe in a 125 and it works great.

 

[Innes]

welcome to the board
(to both of you, but not Judazzz!)

 

[Judazzz]

Thanks

I believe you can add 2 or 3 p's to that, in a 125, I would.

 

[bobme]

well yea,
according to the math, 125 / 20 = 6.25 , so you can have 6 piranha's and one catfish hehe

 

[piranha198220]

i have 9 in 1 of my 120's and that works out great so you'll have no problem

by the way thats some lite ass color on that 1 piranha

 

[MPower]

That will work.

I have 3 caribe and 3 reds in a 135. Since there only 4-5 inches Im thinking bout getting 2-3 more caribe to add more excitement. Once they get bigger I would sell the reds and have nothing but caribe.

How many piraya and CArbie can I have together withou the reds?

Depending on what size tank you have and how much money you can spend to get some of these bad boys. All pygos can shoal together, each having a different characteristic of their own. I have 5 RBs in a 100, and will most def add a pair of Caribes and Pirayas in my 125 soon.

 

[MPower]

I say 6 total. 3 caribe and 3 piraya.

I've been loking around on the web and I've found the piranha for me, the Ternetzi. How many of those can I pop into a 130 gallon ? And will they eat pellets, and freeze dried foods

 

[Judazzz]

Depending on the size I'd get 6-8 fish. When it comes to large adult fish, I would get more than 5 or 6, though. With baby's and sub-adults (ie. smaller than approx. 8"), I'd get 6-8, and have nature run its course...
Remember though that yellow natts (ie. "ternetzi") are expensive!!! I'd get two or three of them and the rest common reds (but that's just me...)

How much would I be paying for smaller ones, over 100$ ?
