  • Trying to make it fun and informative.. piranhas require more attention and effort on your part then most fish in the “hobby” that’s why so many fail miserably in keeping these predatory companions.

    I have seen many piranhas in fish tanks for decades but these have got to be the healthiest looking fish ever. They also have a good life as an interactive pack as opposed to ones that are usually kept alone. You should be commended for being such a responsible pet owner. Thank you for being a good example for owning dogs, cats and fish and respecting their lives.

    Edit: And if you Karens and Darrens are watching this; Mind your own business and stop your self righteous BS. It’s not like it’s Brad and Chad, loaded up on Doritos and Mtn Dew, holding a cam, “Huehuuhuhuuhu. Watch this thing get f***in owned, brosef. Look at all the blood, bro.”
    dialogue.

    Awesome slo-mo musical montage footage. If only human beings could learn to share resources as piranha do. There would probably be a lot less crime. Then again most people don't turn to cannibalism, when resources get scarce. 🤣 I guess there's a thing or two that we can learn from each other. 😂 And thank you for your professionalism and for continuing to produce such fine, informative, educational, enjoyable, and such entertaining videos. I know that you're not doing this to entertain, but when I come home from a long hard day of work, and I see that you've posted another absolutely golden gem of a video that I can watch while I unwind from the stresses of the day; your videos are almost like the glass of fine wine that I sip whilst watching your rahnas.

    • @Bearskimethod
      @Bearskimethod  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It will take some time to determine that and the roles may switch from one individual to another.. 4 pack is a small group so there may be a less pack mentality and more territorial disputes.. in any case live feedings will easily showcase the leader within the pack.
      Hope this is explained it a little 😉

Also whenever you go near the caribas it looks like they have a blue color when I’m watching it. Are they a shade of blue or is it just the lighting. One more question. Did you order your piranha or how did you come to get them?? Sorry about all of the questions but this stuff fascinates me it really does. Please keep posting videos and I’ll keep watching
