Which is the most popular Fish?
It seems I have to say it again , so here goes ...
Quoting a website : " Serrasalmus Rhombeus (The Black Piranha). The S.Rhombeus, better known as the Rhom, is a great fish to keep. They have the pointed features associated with the Serrasalmus genus leading up to a thick high back under the dorsal fin. The fish has amazing red eyes, which it is famous for and is a legendary eater. The S.Rhombeus is not a particularly difficult fish to keep but must be kept on its own, so if you are looking to keep a solitary fish, this is your boy. The main reason is that this fish does not mix with any other fish, including it's own breed. They will attack and kill any other fish in the tank. Because of this, they are a very popular fish for the hobbyist to keep but will need large housing due to their size. The fish is found all over the Amazon and Orinoco waterways and can grow to 22" in maturity. Again large housing will be needed if the fish is to grow to this size and an adult S.Rhombeus can easily amputate a human hand at the wrist in 2 or 3 bites, so be careful. " Are you sure an Oscar or Red Devils can handle one of these ? Oscars and Red Devils have smaller teeth and are slower... I've kept all 3 species. Oscars and other cichlids are more intresting, and more pet-like. But as far as fighting / eating ability Oscars and Red devils both lose to the black piranha. Red bellies or other piranha species would be feeders for Red Devils , true. But not the Rhombeus... Limnophile "Charlie Durand" wrote in message news:nXwjc.30401$0u6.5331766@attbi_s03... Please... black piranhas and red devils. Oscars would bitch slap both these fish. "Gene" wrote in message ... Yep. Red devils kill piranhas and oscars.
