dont know what you mean?? lol!!

all 3 accountered for, not a scratch (dont uncross your fingers though!!) all my animals are well behaved, but it must be a first to train P's lol!!

Glad to hear it, phishy.

still no scratches or marks yet!! also, saw an adult oscars today and was VERY tempted, do you think these will be ok with them being a hell of a lot bigger than my piranhas?

Only one way to find out....

Glad the plecs are ok.

DON'T!!!!

I just can't take the strain . I bet they're all sitting on the bottom of the tsank feeling like this

:lol:

LMAO Diana

Oh phishy, i hope they're ok

Nope, actually the scarlet seems to be a LOT happier in her new home! Shes swimming about (only hid in the other tank) and last night she was actually sucking on a mussel, the FIRST time ive seen her eat since i got her about 3 months ago! Theyre all fine still, the P's arent battering an eyelid, everything fine.

But i THINK im gunna try with 2 adult oscars in there, if theres any trouble, i can take them back!

Go for it. Oscars are so intelligent.

ok, indigoj's getting the blame if they get eaten lol!

LOL, hope they don't! How big are the P's now?

If their that intelligent they'll play dead when they see phishy walk through the door!! They probably have a rota for a fishy lookout - you know like the meerkats do - just to make sure she cant sneak in unnoticed! :lol:

I would imagine they wil be ok anyways unless they become ill or injured. Thats normally when a pirahna will go for other fish when they are ill or injured or dead.
However, something being bigger doesnt necessarily mean it wont get eaten, cos a group of them can strip a cow in seconds and Im darned sure that bigger than a pirahna lol.
Good luck to the plecs!!!! Im tempted to buy a pirahna for one of my spare tanks.

Go for it Rob, theyre amazing and stunning fish. And they ate the baby tiger oscars i had in there, thats y im a little weary lol

The piranhas are about 5-6 inchs now Indigoj

And fishfan...

Wow, they've grown well (must have been that early diet of oscars...)

lol more than likely, or because they eat better than the queen! each meal is either prawns, mussels or cockles lol no wonder i cant afford bread and milk pmsl!€

Do you have a local fish market or somewhere you could buy in bulk and freeze? Could be worth getting a cheap/free spare freezer (ebay/freecycle)

the frozen prawns are only 89p a bag from asda and the mussels are 99p fresh for 200g from tesco, so not too bad i dont think. They do last them a while.
