    Illegal to own in GA w/out proper permits due to them being a fresh water fish and chance of being released in a lake or other fresh water areas... but imo awesome lil fish...

    lol. I am, just trying to figure out what to do. STill waiting for the water to de chlorify and gonn get a Sucker fish first to make the water perfect, considering this a long term investment as the present moment.

    go for it - but be wary too - they're more vicious than an Oscar - and I once had my uncle tease my Oscars by holding his finger above the surface of the water... lets just say we both learnt that Oscars can jump...

    Well.... I wouldn't suggest putting your hand in a bowl of piranha's... but from what I've seen they are made out to be alot worse than they really are... My friends dad (when i was a kid) was a fresh water fish seller, and he always had piranha's, puffer fish, all kinds of crazy fish.... and they never had any problems with em... like i said before, the puffer fish are the ones you need to look out for, bit the tip of my friends dads finger off lol...
