Do piranhas have playing habits?
Most people have a misconception that the more piranhas in the tank the more aggressive they will be, this is not true, infact keeping too many piranha together only contributes to their skittishness. They do not fully trust one another, and being cramped in close quarters with each other only makes them more skittish and causes them to dart all around the tank, its what I call a "Paranioa chain-reaction." One piranha may swim to close too another and the piranha will be afraid of being nipped by the other, then darts away scaring another piranha causing a chain-reaction of the whole school to bash their heads into the tank walls trying to get away. This also leads to the misconception of piranhas being very skittish, they are just shy fish. I keep 2 red belly juveniles, that live in a 60gallon tank, they are not skittish at all, because they have alot of room between each other. The only time they get scared and hide is when I have my hands in the tank. In general most piranhas are shy and not that aggressive, so do not buy any piranhas if you think they are vicous aggressive fish that can kill anything, because they are not. There are exepctions however, such as the Black Piranha (Serrasalmus Niger), White Piranha (Serrasalmus Rhombeus) Black Diamond Piranha (Serrasalmus Spilopleura) etc. I would NOT recommend these species to any beginning piranha keeper. When you first buy your piranha and put them in their new tank, they may act very wild and bash into the tank, or even play dead, don't worry, this is normal for newly bought piranhas. This only lasts until they get used to their new surroundings.
What type of aquarium do piranha like?
Piranha need a very large tank because they are messy fish. They should be alone in the tank with a pH of between 5.5 to 7.0 and a temperature of around 78 degrees.

Are seahorses supposed 2 live in a tank on their own?
Seahorses do best is a species only tank. The number you can keep depends on the size of your tank and the species you are keeping. If your tank is large you can keep many seahorses together. You can also keep same sex tanks; they don't need to keep them in pairs.

Can you put piranha's in a 10 gallon tank?
Definately not in the plural form. A 10 gal tank in use only holds around 8 gals or so. 1 Piranha would be over maximum capacity.. The basic rules are. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Piranha is about a 10 inch fish) Every tank must have a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.
Is a ten gallon fish tank too small for two piranhas?
A ten gallon aquarium is definitely too small for piranha. Piranha grow to about 8 inches in length, can be active and jumpey swimmers, and produce a lot of waste. All of these factors make it not suitable to keep them in anything less than a 90 gallon aquarium.
What does a piranhas look like?
There are 3 main types of Piranhas. Here is the List from LEAST aggressive to HIGHLY aggressive. 1) Least aggressive is the Red Belly Piranha. It has a bad reputation and old myths about how they would kill and eat anything. But the piranha will not attack or kill a human. It still eats and can kill, Fish; Worms; Insects; Mice; Birds... ETC. 2) Golden Belly Piranha, i know little of this pirahna except that it is said it cannot be kept with anything but itself (Same type of pirahna). They are very hard to find and are endangered. Like the Black Pirahna. (SEE 3) 3) Black Belly Piranha is highly, the MOST aggressive piranhas known. They are black and will eat ANYTHING. If you circle the tank the black belly will FOLLOW you thinking it can attack you. It will kill anything and eat it. It is compatible with the Red belly and its own kind. Its not as often seen as a red belly. There has never been a record of a Black Belly Piranha being bred with the Red, and Golden Bellied Piranhas. THE PIRANHA IN GENERAL: It has a round face, and usually has very sharp teeth. It face cuves as it has very dramaticly pointed fins. the back fin is usually a v-shape and there is a small upper and a red under belly fin. (THIS CASE IT IS A RED BELLY PIRANHA BECAUSE OF THE RED UNDER FIN)
