PIRANHAS VS TIGER BARBS (WARNING! Graphic content)

It’s a gamble.. living with predators.. it’s been done before, can it be duplicated again..

Hi Bearski. Have been ill & in hospital for a couple of days so haven't been able to catch up with your videos yet but glad I've managed to see this one. I think it's really fascinating watching how the piranhas react to prey. Like I said in my last comment (the video with the bull frog) I was always under the impression that as soon as they sense prey of any kind or size they automatically go into a feeding frenzy. They really are wonderful fish. Thank you so much for sharing your very passionate hobby. Hopefully now I can catch up on the rest of the videos lol. Take care Bear. Stay safe 😀

[@Bearskimethod]

[@sidewinder4718]

I have had Tiger Barbs in a tank with Red Devils and Oscars. I introduced them at med. size and they had a rough time , but, they survived I also had them out number the tank mates by three pairs. However, when the barbs grew to a large size their schooling became aggressive and they had no problems maintaining their existence. I say that to say this, grow the Barbs first in a school together then introduce them at equal size equal numbers. You may get a different outcome.

[@Bearskimethod]

Side Winder I have had a colony living in harmony for 5 months.. then suddenly ☠️ The intro was partly successful as to date.. 👍🏻

[@sidewinder4718]

I suspect the piranhas discovered the possible size and aggression the barbs could exhibit so they went into survival mode.

[@robertgardiner7709]

I notice piranhas tend to just ignore plecos, As if they have some sort of mutual understanding.

[@Bearskimethod]

they don't like dark spiny fish..

[@justinmills3870]

They will break down a plecos armor and eat them it takes a while but they will

[@TerrariumDiscoveryGamingMore]

Ahh, so the barbs are a clean-up crew. That explains them appearing in the tanks somentimes. They might be an occasional snack though.

[@Bearskimethod]

Yes

@@Bearskimethod nicely done. I'm a veterinarian technician and am so big on keeping everything as natural for my animals. Even my dogs allowing them to hunt. My snakes eat live prey. And my dogs having 2 miniature dachshunds a coyote mix, and pitbull hunt rabbits and rats for pest control on ranches. Big high five to you for keeping your animals as natural as possible. Too many people forget that animals even dogs and cats are born hunters and need that stimulation

[@deadbyAnthrax]

an theory...... maybe the barbs that got eaten suddenly like started to make babies and they smelled weird fermones in the tank and decided to eat them all, idk because theres only enough room in the tank.? or maybe if that happend the barbs got more defensive over their small colony forcing the pirannas to attack? i have no idea XD just spitting out some weird theories XD

[@Bearskimethod]

it's a bit of a mystery at the moment..

[@KrC-1207]

So did the barbs last or become lunch too?

[@Bearskimethod]

They last until the piranhas decided to breed and there is no room for any egg eaters. ☠️

John C thank you for watching

[@flederfox]

Dude i'm so excited to see the barbs back, that one guy that held out so long in the adult tank was a BOSS. Have you considered breeding barbarians? It could be an option that might prevent your Ranha babies from decimating the barb population every time they get a flood of funky hormones, and help increase your tank biodiversity

[@Bearskimethod]

emilee greenpaws has may throw in other small “dither” fish to help diffuse the tension.. 😉

[@Bearskimethod]

Unconventional Aquatics thank you my man 👊🏻

[@lunarfaerie8552]

I wonder if the previous groups of barbs were eaten at the same time because the change in light/temperature, who knows, may have been during a breeding cycle where, even though the piranhas didn’t successfully reproduce, any type of foreign fish-even those as small as the barbarians-would be a threat to the young in terms of there being enough food or even as a physical threat to the young piranhas wellbeing?

[@Bearskimethod]

Piranhas are already feared for their sharp teeth and meat-eating ways, and now a ferocious "bark" can be added to the list. Aggressive red-bellied piranhas produce bark-like sounds to scare off other piranhas, Hhhmmmmm Interesting ‼️✌️

Can you try putting 2 chubs in at once? I think itd be interesting to see if the pack all focus on one then the other or if they attack both simultaneously
