Black Spot Piranha Pygocentrus Notatus Serrasalmus Caribas 10cm

Overview: The Black Spot Piranha, known for its striking appearance and fascinating behavior, is a captivating addition to any enthusiast’s aquarium. With its sleek silver body accented by distinctive black spots, this species embodies both beauty and intrigue.

Origin: Originating from South America, specifically in the Amazon River Basin, these piranhas thrive in warm, slightly acidic waters rich in vegetation.

Feeding: As carnivorous predators, Black Spot Piranhas have a hearty appetite for meaty foods. They readily accept a varied diet of live or frozen prey like small fish, shrimp, and occasionally, high-quality pellets.

Tank Mates: Due to their aggressive nature and territorial tendencies, it’s advisable to house Black Spot Piranhas with their own kind or similar-sized, robust species that can handle their vivacious behavior.

Aggression: Known for their aggressive demeanor, these piranhas require ample space and careful management to mitigate territorial disputes. They exhibit a natural tendency to establish dominance within their environment.

Experience Level: Keeping Black Spot Piranhas demands an intermediate to advanced level of expertise in maintaining large, well-filtered tanks and handling aggressive fish species.

Water Parameters: Optimal conditions include a spacious tank (minimum 75 gallons per fish), stable temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH range of 6.0-7.5, and moderate water flow. Regular water quality checks and maintenance are crucial for their well-being.
