Hi Fury-members,

I have taken a trip to a locol Zoo and visited the aquarium-house.
And to my suprise I found a tamk with strange P's in...

I post 3 pics , so please wait with replies !

The tank was around 2000 liter (500 gallon) and housed a group of fish , named "serrasalmus nattereri".

I counted 6 P's around 7-8 inches, some P's around 2-3 inches and dozens of P's less then .5 ", all in one tank.

The largest group looked grown up, the second looked like 1 year old P's, and the last ..like in life for only a couple of week's...

AND I didn't found a single Py.nattereri in the tank ,...

only ... look for yourself...

That is the old name for them. They are actually Pygocentrus Nattereri. Like Death in #'s said they need to be educated. However that last pics looks like he has a raised back like a Serrasalmus.
