One more tank...decision

[rudy]

I want one more oddball or something tank. I am deciding between a manuelli pirahna and an electric cat. I have had e cats and love them. Has anyone here had piranhnas? What are they like?

I've kept elongatus, rhombeus and the common red belly. IMO, pirahnas are boring, skittish and a big waste of money. I've never kept an e cat, but sounds pretty freakin' cool to me.

Ok, how about a planted tank with a few hundred tetras! Looks cool and when you get bored with that, feed them to your rays ! Lol

Ive had an assortment of piranha. The only ones that were active and worth having were bigger rhoms. I would choose one over an ecat. A little more to look at then a fat lifeless sausage

A Goldenhead crossback would be outstanding...lol.

Just my opinion Tim.

Have the tank half filled, throw in a bunch of semi-aquatic plants and some Anableps anableps

An "interesting tank" I would think.
