Piranha teaser pics...

[Mike_08]

My piranhas have settle into their new tank now so I was trying to take some pictures but they just wouldn't keep still. Instead I started messing around taking pictures then adding effects and as most of you guys are into photography thought some of you may appreciate some of the end results.

All photos were taken on my 4S then edited with the Photoshop app. I'm not a photographer but thought they looked pretty cool... :approve:

Cool. How big is your tank? I've just bought a new tank too and I'm thinking about getting piranha or pacus.

I wasn't trying to get them to pose for a photo, hence why it says 'teaser' in the title.

The new tank they're in is 4-5ft long and they seem to be loving all the new space.

Im guessing its okay to stick your finger in the tank? lol

 

[Tigger]

I was thinking the exact same ^ or are you just taking the hand out of this guy?

I had a 6ft tank of piranha at work a few years back. Could put your whole arm in and nothing, put in a frozen rat pup and they were on it in a flash.

Yeah from what I've read the red belly ones aren't that aggressive towards humans unless you starve the f*****s then your in trouble.

At the moment they're only juvenile fish so if I stick my hand in the tank they swim off and hide in the corner. As they grow I'll have to be more careful when putting my hands in as they won't be so scared with things that go in the tank. Putting food in is a different story tho. Lol

Creepy but cool.

Creepy but cool.

That's what I was after. I only wanted the silhouettes of the fish in the background. Lol

 

[Revels]

They are awful pictures Sorry.

 

[Scutch]

What was the logic behind wanting the piranha?

 

[Scrooge]

Lol Random, I like it though!

 

[AP'Moss]

Cool, how old are they do you know?

 

[Mike_08]

They are awful pictures Sorry.

Ah well you can't please everyone.

What was the logic behind wanting the piranha?

No real reason. I like exotic animals and I've had snakes, lizards etc so fancied a change.

Cool, how old are they do you know?

I had them from babies so I'm guessing they're between 3 to 5 months old now.

When do we get to see pics of the fish then

When do we get to see pics of the fish then

When they keep still long enough for me to take a few decent snaps. If there's any movement by the tank they swim off and hide.
