Joey, perhaps the smaller one are the almost same, but different species the, Caribe Piranha? Caribe Red Bellied Piranhas are more aggressive than normal red bellied!
@mikaylasmom0322

The smaller ones are all about survival mode, so they need to be more aggressive and bold. The older ones kind of have a sense of "ok, we are safe and fed so" Genetics can play a part of course. I wanted to add in, the size of your aquarium plays a HUGE part as to why these tetras are ignored. A lot of people want to have "tank mates" with their piranha in their standard size aquarium and that's a recipe for disaster. Public aquariums, for example have leporinus, cichlids, other piranha species and "works" because of tank size.

My 20 gallon tank is infested with assassin snails! I had a snail problem so I added 5 and now I have like 50 or more. I exchanged one snail problem for another. I don't think that'll fix the problem. They are cooler looking though. Love the tank, the red on the piranha looks great a camera. Also I think that small green plant shooting runners is dwarf sage not a crypt. Thanks Joey!

Snails. I stupidly and intentionally added a few little snails in to my tank. Thought it would be a nice edition. Dididnt think it would get to bad. Well it did and they just exploded and got in to everything, even the filters. And I did so much water changes and cleaning and spot killing-nothing seemed to work. I got one little clown loach. One. That little dynamo single handedly ate thru a 30 gall worth of snail infestation in just a few days! Bless that little hard worker, it was amazing to see the little buggers disappear nearly overnight. Moved him in to my 20 to clean that up too after he was done with the 30. I'll never forget that tiny terror of snails. If I ever start up a tank again, im getting another for sure.

I saw the bleeding heart tetra in a number of videos. I didn't realise you hadn't told people. They and purple emperors were my favourite tetras but there's many others that are beautiful. I think red belly piranha are typically carrion feeders, unless they're really hungry. So, so long as their fed they shouldn't go after the quick little ones, as they're too much effort. Puffers are Amazonian so might get rid of the snails but then, they're slow and some might get picked off by hungry piranha.

Not to say you're wrong but in my 125 I have only 3 red belly piranha, 5 inchers and they ate all of the tiger barbs that I introduced into the tank, the same time as them. Anything I try to put in there as a tankmate dies (instant food!). So no more, not looking to sacrifice any more poor fish. And yes I feed them plenty but it still doesn't matter.

I think your cloudiness is caused by heterotrophic bacteria. More water movement and surface skimming plus UV should clear things up.
Which just gave me idea if you did make it an living micro ecosystem you could pair that with aquaponics aka letting plants filter the water for your fish and the fish to feed the plant so the plants would benefit from any biowaste from the fish if you did go that route

Thinking small ones next to feed more often bc they are growing at a higher rate and burn more energy doing so? Larger adults can take bigger chunks but dont need as much food? Similar to snakes where younger snakes need to be fed more often and adults less often but have bigger meals?

I used to have 150 gallon planted fish tank with 10 piranhas and it they grew to close to a foot in size I had jacked Dempsey's convex breeding in the tank schools of 300 fish Dempsey's in convicts with the piranhas... I believe why you're smaller piranhas are more aggressive is because they are younger and more active the older ones tend to get more mellower as they grow older.. I really enjoyed watching your video and tempted to do another piranha... tank but.. I have 180 gallon community fish tank now with ram cichlids also have balloon rims electric blues and assorted of other fish that I would like to try to breed with angelfish..

With piranhas, there’s no guarantees that a cannabolistic accident won’t happen in the future. Trust me. Piranhas are extremely unpredictable. Just because the larger pirahnas hasn’t picked off the smaller ones yet, doesn’t mean they won’t in the near future. I’ve kept almost all species of pirahna allowed in capability for years. I’ve literally seen it all with these fish. Both the good and the bad.
