Yeah......so I just rescued one. My friend is a realtor and went into one of her rentals that had been vacant for who knows how long. On the counter is this 10 gallon tank, no filter running, about 3 inches of filthy water and a fish. She had no clue what it was.....so she took hit home. She later id'd it as the title. Her husband said no freakin' way and I, the known animal rescuer, was called. I've never had a piranha....but I was sure pumped to take it!! I've been researching and what not, trying to learn about this poor little creature who was starved for who knows how long, left to die.
So, any real life tips for me? Oh........my kid named it Spongebob........
It's about 2.5 inches long right now and his fins are red (I red that juveniles don't have the red coloring and as they age, they lose their red). I read about diet and water parameters. I'm going to get him a bigger tank this weekend.
