Pygocentrus piraya or serrasalmus rhombeus?

[Mister-Blister]

So, since i am an avid fan of larger piranha species i would like to ask all of you as to which one of these two seems like a better fish to keep? In terms of requirements, behavior and overall predatory ability?

serrasalmus rhombeus they are the most aggressive pirahna

serrasalmus rhombeus they are the most aggressive pirahna

are they? piraya is regarded as quite aggressive in its own right.

These guys can get 2 feet and are very aggressive and colorful
serrasalmus spilopleura

If you don't have patience for a slow growing Piranha don't get a Rhombeus.

Ya,

manny’s look the best imo... that’s the pic up there... but a large one will cost $1k if you can find it... any big Rhoms will cost you that too though... 12” and bigger...

a Pygocentrus Piraya will get the biggest...

You prolly need a 300g....

Fish vary tho... ask Aquascape to sell you an aggro p...
