Pygocentrus nattereri (Piranha)
Description
Pretty fish, red belly during the day (at night it becomes gray, I do not know why so if someone knows the reason for changing color, that they contact me because it's been a good time that I am looking for why and How they do it), by that it is a fish that grows rather quickly so you have to plan a large aquarium (at least 80 liters per piranha for this espèce) does not try to put piranhas aged in the same aquarium (less I did it but it is really the hassle and in addition it is not guaranteed that they are not buzzing, the technique that I offer on market for me with piranhas around 1 year old, that is to say more really young And Mimi Environment 15cm What I did is that I put 2 new piranhas with one that I already polered for that I changed the decoration of the aquarium I stuffed the old piranha and j I did the transfer of new ones in lanuit when he slept and after some day of stress and what a cut over they stopped dearly Dear, Voili Voilou). This type of piranha and very close to the Pygocentrus Cariba (practically impossible to differry young people and this second pocked espèces a black spot on the side once adult. For the maximum size I am not sure but I thought I heard that They can cause the 30cm but the aquarium balèze must. Otherwise avoided the red meat which makes them too approved which can be thrilled, I give them chicken and sometimes fish (sea or sea Freshwater is parreille and alive or dead it does not change the result is the same). I conseille a rather effective filt system with filt containing bacteria.
Pygocentrus NatteReri fish is also known as Red Piranha. It is a kind of carnivorous fish that lives in the warm and shallow waters of rivers and lakes from South America. It is generally bright red in color, with dark spots on the body and fins. His mouth is filled with sharp and sharp teeth, which allows him to easily shred his prey.
The Pygocentrus NatteReri is a lonely and territorial fish, which can measure up to 40 centimeters in length. It is mainly active during the day and feeds mainly on fish, insects and crustaceans. Although it is often associated with aggressive behaviors and attacks on humans, it is in reality not as dangerous as it is generally thought.
The red piranha is considered a species threatened in its natural habitat, due to the loss of its habitat, commercial fishing and water pollution. Since 1981, it has been protected by the Convention on International Trade in Species of Wild Wild flora and flora threatened with extinction (CITES), which limits its international trade.
Despite its reputation, the Pygocentrus Natteri is a fascinating and unique fish, which deserves to be protected and respected in its natural habitat.
