Re: I think my piranha is retarded
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.

I have had numerous piranhas over the years but nothing like this fruitcake
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
Seriously though have you tried putting something opaque on the sides of the tank like black construction paper etc.?

Not in this case .He does it lights on or off and he is not chasing a goldfish and missing lol.

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.
Too many pets to list!
