I got a little buzzed the other night. I found myself staring into my piraya tank, and the feeder tank that is right next to it. My head would wander from one tank to the other, back and forth, back and forth. Finally I just said "f*ck it", got the net and threw the biggest feeder I could catch (about 5 inches) into the piraya tank (piraya is 4 inches). i've never fed him a feeder before, and I swore to myself that I would only do it on occasion, well this was one hell of an occasion! Soon as little goldie hit the water, Ray (my piraya's name) was all over it. He would push the gold into a corner and start busting combinations on it's ass. The whole thing lasted for about three minutes. I don't think Ray was hungry, but pissed off that this big fish was in his tank. And above all, he did it right in front of me! I mean my big mug was glued to the front of the glass. I sure am proud of the little guy. Proud enough that I have decided this will be a weekly event...Sam Adams and Feeding Frenzy Fridays.

throw cheap, mean cichlids like devils or dempseys or something in there, and it should be more entertaining. Goldfish suck. You might as well just throw in a limp piece of meat in there as soon a goldfish.

who wants to pay dollars for a feeder when they can pay a few mere cents????

 

[piranha45]

Because an aggressive victim should put up a much better show than a dumb piece of meat, as I already said. Does 5-15 bucks for a monthly fish duel really sound like a bad idea to you?

Saying your piranha can kill a goldfish is like saying your pit bull can waste a chihuahua

 

[scarfish]

True. Maybe monthly cichlid fights, while weekly comet training.

NOW you're talking

The Unleash the Fury forum needs some good video updates anyway, since our resident psychopath-in-the-closet fled.

I throw a nice fish in my pygo tank about every month. Be it a nice fancy finned fat goldfish or a cichlid, it is much fun.

Cichlids are fun because it is more of a chase. Fat fancy goldfish are fun because they're fat, they're ugly, and they have trouble swimming.

 

[piranha45]

give us the details, man! What cichlid species, and what were their sizes/the piranha's size? Did any of them try to jaw-lock or fight back?

 

[Xenon]

Nice how many piraya's do you have? What is he in with?

congrads..

 

[scarfish]

Just one piraya all by his lonesome. I'm beefing him up before he goes in the big tank with the big reds.
