	NP, just let me know if you have anymore questions about them!
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:55
	Great. Thanks for the help Cosmo :thumbs:
Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:54
	will grow upto around 9-10" in first 2 years, then can go upto around 12-14" over the next years.
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:47
	Minter!! How big do they grow to?

	101 x 50 x 41cm.
Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:42
	What dimensions is the rio180?
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:37
	That'l do then. I think i've made up my mind. I'll change from what is in there now to some pirahnas. I don't really want to see my fish getting massacred 3 months down the line so i'll give them to my mate.
Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:34
	really easy TBH. Can feed dead food (prawns, old chick breast, white fish meat, etc.). And just need looking after like any normal fish.
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:29
	I think that may be a bad idea then. I'll have to pass off the rest of the fish. Are they fairly easy to keep? I know they like live food and frozen food. Anything else to keep an eye on?
Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:27
	they will grow fast from that size, upto about 6-7" within a year. By the time they get to 2" (not long at all) they will be able to catch and eat most other fish.
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:25
	OK. The pirahna themselves are very small, neon tetra size at the moment. I'm stumped of what do do then. Do I put them in and see how it goes or wait until i have a clear tank?
Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:22
	if the Piranha are fairly small then yeah, they could stay in there a while BUT they will eventually start nipping at the other fish, and after a few months of growth they'll soon be attacking and eating whatever is in there with then.

	Ah yeah. They are pretty peaceful in comparison to other cichlids.
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:16
	Firemouth.
mwg	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:16
	what sort of cichlid is it?
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:15

	The tank is a Rio 180, with plenty of cover for little fish and shy ones. In there at the moment is a couple of dwarf catfish and a plec, 1 silver shark, 1 cichilid, 3 flying foxes and some odd little tetras that are left overs (all the others died) Forgot, 2 Silver Dollars aswell. The pirahnas are advertised as red-bellies :boggle: [Edited on 05-12-2006 by Dean_W]

Cosmo	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:12
	What size tank is it? Also what size are the Piranha and current fish?
Dean_W	posted on 5th Dec 06 at 13:11
	I have a tank at the moment with a few fish in there. The biggest being a Cichilid and a Silver shark. What i'm wanting to know is, can i put some pirahna in there? I can get some red bellies from a local place. I was thinking of maybe three of them?
