Red Bellied Piranha Serrasalmus Nattereri

“Dive into the exotic world of the Red Bellied Piranha (Serrasalmus Nattereri), a captivating species renowned for its striking appearance and fascinating behaviors. Originating from the Amazon River basin in South America, these energetic carnivores boast vibrant red bellies contrasting sharply against their sleek silver bodies.

Feeding on a protein-rich diet of fish, crustaceans, and even small mammals, they thrive in well-maintained aquariums with ample space and hiding spots. Due to their aggressive nature, it’s advisable to house them in a species-only tank or with robust, similarly sized companions. Novice aquarists may find their care challenging due to their demanding feeding habits and tank requirements.

Maintaining stable water parameters with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH between 6.0-7.0, and pristine water quality is crucial for their well-being. With experienced care and attention to their specific needs, these piranhas can offer a captivating and rewarding aquatic experience for dedicated hobbyists.”
