| Yoda Poohbah~   | Wittys freshwater mini monster here is my new baby monster, Serresalmus Rhombeus aka black piranha. when i was 18 i had the tip of my thumb nearly severed by one on these beasts and since then i have loved them. i had a 55 for several years with red bellies due to the lack of availability of these guys. well,,,fast forward and i revisted my love of them and after having reefdave trying week after week for over 4 months to get me one,,,,he came through!   look at those choppers~

| Yoda Poohbah~ | Re: Wittys freshwater mini monster check out tetra for under substrate heating. it provides warmer water for the roots and diffuses up. many many yrs ago was seriously into live plant freshies. doing soil/peat substrates topped with sand. i had a 125 amazon basin with swords flowering above water level and breedng Uaru's, Discus, and corydoras barbadus.
