awesome thread! I've wanted to get some fish (mainly piranha) for a while. Where should I go to start learning about what it all requires? Is there a website or forum with some easy access info?

If you want piranhas you first have to see if they are legal in your state, in most states they are illegal.

hope you got the budget to feed those fuckers too.
I would go with their cousins, Oscars.
I believe they're the cousins of Pirahnas and they too eat live food about once every week or two or they can live off of just pellets or flakes. They can get quite large though. I had 3 of them in a 55 gallon and just enough room for a Pleco to keep clean.

I've owned some oscars before, they are very aggressive, piranhas are sought after for their teeth though, which oscars do not have. Oscars are one of my fav fish. I just want something different next time I setup my tank, and I am leaning towards the hujeta barracuda, or the red tailed barracuda, maybe even the African tigerfish which is what I really want (all three of these have teeth in order from least to greatest), but that is a $300+ fish, which I do not have to drop on a fish at this time.
The tigerfish is legal here, and is much like a piranha, I personally think they are more brutal than the piranha tbh.

Florida takes them srs business

Officials poison Florida pond that was home to piranha
A retention pond near West Palm Beach, Fla. was purposely poisoned earlier this week after red-bellied piranha were discovered living in it.
The piranha were discovered by a young angler, who hooked one of the fish last month. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists followed up and discovered another one 10 days later.
So on Tuesday, FWC biologists pumped rotenone into the pond, effectively killing every living thing in the water.
"The only way to be sure all of the piranha are gone is to apply a safe-to-use fish toxicant to kill any piranha that might still be present in this pond," Scott Hardin, FWC exotic species leader, said in a news release.
"Fisheries managers have used rotenone since 1934 to eradicate unwanted fish without harming habitat, and its use is a standard fish-management technique," Hardin said.
Rotenone is an odorless chemical that occurs naturally in the roots of several plants. It breaks down quickly after use, leaving no harmful residue. The Environmental Protection Agency closely monitors rotenone, its use and effects.
Officials believe the fish may have been released from someone's aquarium. It is unlawful to keep piranha as pets in Florida, punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine and a year in prison.
"We can help anyone who has an illegal species, such as piranha," Hardin said. "We encourage folks to call us, and we'll help -- no questions asked."
The FWC will monitor the pond and nearby waterways, removing all dead fish to ensure that no piranha remain. Once clear, the waters will be restocked with native freshwater fish.
The deliberate poisoning of the pond may seem drastic -- the FWC has never found any evidence of a breeding population of piranha in the state -- but I suppose it is better to be safe than sorry.
-- Kelly Burgess
I think the fine is pretty serious too. i'll look it up and edit this.

I cannot find the law like I did once before, I thought I seen jailtime in there though, with fines added to it.

If you find a fish wholesaler and become good friends with the owner you can get pretty much any fish you want. My cousin has the hookup in the N.T and offered me some snakeskin Gourami's which are illegal but he has spent heaps of money over the years there so they let him order the odd one he shouldn't, but I didn't want them at the time.

Snakeskin Gourami or the Snakehead? I think you meant the snakehead which is currently invading the everglades in fl. Snakeskin Gourami is possible though if they are very invasive, like the asian carp. The snakehead just sounds more like the fish since they have teeth and I am pretty sure they are illegal live in all 50 states.

Dax and Blizzard
Momma is a white american and hotot mix and Daddy is a dusty grey Rex. Momma is Cleopatra and Daddy is Petra. It's hilarious now that Cleopatra is fixed watching this little grey bunny run around and hump this white and black rabbit twice his size.

Ok, they must be very invasive then.. I looked them up and looked at their diet and though you might have meant the snakehead.
