Buy Piranhas Online
July 23, 2010
Buying a piranha is a long term commitment. Carefully do your research according to the specific type of piranha you want. Some piranha must be kept together in groups of at least 3, such as the Red Belly Piranha, while others - like the Black Piranha - must be kept solitary throughout it’s life. You must also set up your piranha tank and equipment prior to receiving your piranhas, and give your tank a proper cycling.
Here is a quick list of what is needed BEFORE buying your piranhas:
Tank and Stand set up; Heater, Power Filter, Hood and Lighting installed. Substrate rinsed and cleaned.
Properly cycled tank. Proper PH levels according to species. You need a PH Test Kit
After you have finished setting up your piranha tank, and given it enough time to balance itself, you can now proceed to buy your piranhas online.
