Re: [AquaticLife] Pair of Red Belly Piranhas Died :(

 

Faisal,

I was on a fish collecting trip in Peru about 6 years ago and several
people caught Piranha. Many of them would die overnight despite being in
the river water they were caught in and despite having small portable
air pumps providing aeration. My best guess is not enough oxygen in the
water; perhaps a larger container with a larger air pump for surface
agitation to facilitate oxygen exchange in the water. Perhaps we have a
fish importer here on the group that can share their knowledge on the
best way to transport these fish. When fish are shipped they are packed
with pure oxygen in the bag. There are exceptions to that however for
fish with labarynth organs or that gulp air. These need a smaller dose
of oxygen in the bag.

Sorry to hear you lost these fish. I have always wanted to have a tank
of them.

Mike

Subject: [AquaticLife] Pair of Red Belly Piranhas Died :(

Hi,

I have sad news of 2 of my Red Belly Piranha's died in 1 hour. Actually
I
was moving to other city so I putted my Piranha's into Plastic Bowl with
net on top for air.

What i did is, I put the water from Aquarium into the Plastic Box & put
my
Piranha's into it. Piranhas died in one hour. I am quite surpried &
upset
because of such.

Can anyone share his expertise the reason of why such happening. and
what
was the negligence (if any) in it.

Regards,
Faisal
