I think my piranha is retarded
Well i have a piranha about the size of my hand that keeps running head on into the sides of the tank :weirdface.He allready gashed the one side of himself(nothing sharp in the tank) when i first got him 2 weeks ago.He is afraid of medium sized goldfish but chases small ones.Does anyone else have a loony bird piranha:rolleye2:? I have had numerous piranhas over the years but nothing like this fruitcake :rofl:

I have an oscar that runs into the side of the tank when the lights first go on. I’ve figured out that he/she is fighting his/her reflection; this may be the case with your piranha.

This reminds me of that windex commercial with the 2 birds sitting outside the house and the lady is cleaning the sliding door with the windex, they swoop down and smash into the door :D
Seriously though have you tried putting something opaque on the sides of the tank like black construction paper etc.?

Re: I think my piranha is retarded
Put some "barriers" around the perimeter of the tank, such as tall plants, giving him a visual "cue" that something solid taht he can see is there.
Re: I think my piranha is retarded

Piranha are big sucks. I had 3 and a red bellied pacu. If you add a redbellied pacu to a tank with redbellied piranha all they will eat is meat! It out ate the other fish! put paper up so it doesn't freak.
