I had two red belly piranhas for about 7 years they were really easy fish to take care of except for the food they didn't eat,, they're super messy eaters,, not once did they try to attack me or even try to nibble at me,, for the most part every time I stuck my hand in the tank they would run and hide.... another fact is they would never eat with me in the room,, they would only eat when things were quiet and nothing was moving except the prey or the chunks of meat floating around the tank,, eventually they just died of old age.... R.I.P Iggy and Ziggy

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Awesome story! It seems all piranha have different personalities 😂 RIP to Iggy and Ziggy! Brilliant names!

My cousin owned a red belly in chicago. Just 1 in a 100 gallon tank. Just have to clean the tank often and keep the water clean. You also have to watch your fingers as they do look like food lol.

[@CHillStone32]

They are getting big now aren't they. Yours are so fiery lol must be because they're Scottish 🤣

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

😂😂😂 that’s definitely why 😂

[@BeFishy]

There's something so satisfying seeing them eat. They're so beautiful!

[@Iguana5k]

0:52 That piece of wood looks like it has a spooky face... If you played the video game Zelda Majoras mask you know what type of face im talking about...

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Hahaha! Just googled it! Definitely does 😂

[@dailyaquariums6963]

Piranha’s are such beautiful fish, a lot of misconceptions about them

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Definitely! Couldn’t agree more 👍

[@GlasgowBandit]

I have 3 red belly Piranhas aswell great fish mines are very aggressive tho toward eachother I'm in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I've kept piranhas for years my last one was 10 inches absolute monster teeth like a demon

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

That’s awesome! I love my piranha just annoying how they eat each other here and there 😅 mines is normally because one has bitten a chunk out another whilst they’ve been feeding. Woow! Can’t wait until mines are massive!

[@harinthasaquarealm]

I have 6 piranhas and they have not been eating recently do you know anyway to solve this prob

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Have you tried different foods? Have you tested your water?

[@BHarris25]

Probably need to feed them more so they don’t eat each other so much.

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Yeah, I mentioned in the video that this doesn’t make much difference when they’re young.

[@J_Diz]

What size aquarium will the need at full size for 3? I’m so confused 😭

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

I would recommend at least 300 litres for them as full grown adults but you can grow them out in something smaller

[@bigfishlad4847]

I love seeing the Piranha updates mate doing a great job with them but and some great footage

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Thanks mate! Always appreciate you watching!

[@SpyShire]

How do u clean their tank without to them dying because i owned a piranha once and when i cleaned it then i put on the newly freshed water to the tank they died

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

You only remove a small percentage of the water each week like 20/25% and make sure you treat the water with a water treatment to remove heavy metals and chlorine etc

[@SpyShire]

Do you recommend buying a gravel vacuum?@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy

[@icewoodcell8506]

Every video I’ve came across so far says. Care for and maintenance. And all it is is a bunch of talking and shoo g of the fish eating and swimming 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. Yes we get it it’s cool to watch. But beginners such as myself are looking for help !!

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

I have a full care guide for red belly piranha on my channel. In fact I have a whole playlist with different info! Don’t judge a channel by one video

[@loverpooltiger]

No major issues just a head floating around the tank 😂😂 subscribed

[@larsschrauwen8762]

Great video!

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Thanks bro! Appreciate it as always!

[@jerrica-ji4er]

I have Isla and Izzy ..I love them

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Brilliant 👍

[@unclesam761]

My tank set up waiting on my 2 red belly’s now😊

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Awesome! Good luck with them!

[@AS-ri1mb]

Probably best to get a few more as the tend to bite each other. If you have around 5/6 they will spread that aggression rather than focussing on one other piranha!

[@m_sridhar_bhandary]

Best vedio keep it up

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Thanks bro 👍

[@CurieBohr]

What size tank?

[@SnapBackBoyAK]

Have to feed them at least 3 times a day. If not they will try to eat each other.

[@AS-ri1mb]

Lol 😂 how many do you have?

[@azaga4773]

As the day will pass one by one will be get killed by each other and at the end one single will survive..this is the bad truth of piranhas

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

When they are juveniles yes I agree but as they reach a year old all that behaviour reduces and at the moment has completely stopped

[@Shakti_Rajpal]

I setup seperate tank for each one.

[@CyberWolfVR]

Do they try and bite you when you clean the tank? lol.. I only have fancy goldfish but looking at getting piranha in the future.. Edit: Also, I have a jewel trigon 350L tank. How many red bellies would you advise for my size tank? Do they get very big? Thanks

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

No not at all, here’s a video of me putting my hand in their tank kzbin.info/www/bejne/inSUnJqQm82Cr9U

[@CyberWolfVR]

@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy Thanks, I’ll check it out. Sorry I edited my comment as wanted to know how many I could have in my tank, thanks 🙏

[@Fishkeepingmadeeasy]

Yeah they can get pretty large! 350 litre would be okay for a smaller group of maybe 4/5 👌

[@CyberWolfVR]

@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy Great thanks 😊👍🏼
