This is a 55 gallon fish tank with light hood and dual filter. It comes with it's 2 door and shelf stand. This tank comes with the one fish I have. It's a pirranah. Yes, a real one.

Re: ?????

Re: ?????

probably a pacu yeah but there are some idiots that can get there hands on them. and yeah way illegal in texas.  lol.

Re: ?????

Well you can buy them on ebay and the sellers will send them to you here in Texas. Ive just never been interested in a fish like that.

Actually.. maybe i could start a breeding program and acclimate them to Texas winters. That was they could live in Lake Houston.

Re: ?????

Yeah, Mike and I were just talking about that the other day! (Them being illegal, not that listing.) Maybe he'll get busted! LMAO! I think he might have an idea that they are illegal, because he said "Yes, a real one." like no one would believe him... Maybe you should ask to see pictures! :wink:

Re: ?????

Yeah, Mike said that the whole reason they are illegal here is because they CAN survive the winters and breed in our local waterways. That would be kinda scary to be skiing in the lake and fall and never come back up! LMAO!! You should do it!  :wink:

Re: ?????

lol.  see if its real.  cause just owning it is illegal.

Re: ?????

They arent actually as aggressive as you see in the movies. That guy went swimming with them on the discovery channel. They left him completely alone.

It would be funny to catch a piranha on your hook.

Re: ?????

I have seen some stuffed ones and they are super ugly! LOL! They have some serious TEETH! Yeah, I have heard that they aren't as aggressive as in the movies, but I bet they can do a number on a slab of meat! I think I read somewhere that they are bubble-nesters like bettas so they shouldn't be too hard to breed! I wonder what they taste like...hmmm...

Re: ?????

Re: ?????

The locals on the show were eating the piranhas

Re: ?????

(by the way he has not responded to my request to see his pretty fish)
Believe it or not, in Lake Gordon in Pennsylvania (part of the main water supply for 3 different states closely linked) divers were working on the dam.  Two of the divers came out of the water as if they were on fire.  They had just seen SEVERAL pike or tiger muskies (natural to the area) that were over 6 ft long.  Now those...would have some teeth.  No one would go back down to take pics.  Both men quit that particular job.

Re: ?????

chickens.   lol.  man they wouldnt have done the divin for the blue planet stuff on discovery channel.  those guys wehre in the middle of schools of fish gettin destroyed by marlins, sharks, and evan a whale.
