Sounds like those guys arent so boring when they are being fed  But then again, feeding my snake was fun for a while, then just becomes routine

Exactly, seeing the piranhas eat was only fun for the first few months. Other than that they just hide out under decorations all day. Very timid fish. I like fish that go out during the day and explore around their tank.. like puffers.

I miss my tank. I told the wife that if we ever build our own house I'm gonna put a nice built-in somewhere. I'll try to come up with something unique like this....

Depends on the species really. The standard red bellies are pretty cheap but the caribes(ones with black "ears") are more expensive.

the king size were 49.99

They were probably the typical Red Belly Piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri. Silver dollar sized ones tend to go anywhere from $5-$15... But they're so god damn boring I don't know why you'd want to waste your time.
Here's a list of species from website that I've ordered from before. Only piranhas from the genus Pygocentrus can be kept together. Serrasalmus tend to kill each other and anything else in the tank that they can catch. Serrasalmus also tend to be very slow growers and somewhat more difficult to keep... But most of the cool piranhas are Serrasalmus, IMO. http://www.aquascapeonline.com/prodList.asp?item=Piranhas&idCategory=22

Most nattereri grow to 8-10 inches. You'd need at least a 55 gal tank for full grown ones, a 75 gal would be better.

Has anyone here had a saltwater tank? When I was 13/14 I had a reef setup. I really love them but that shit is so expensive/time consuming/stressful. Even more so than a drug habit.

the most incredible custom I'd ever seen was at a home I delivered furniture to with a friend, the guy had 3 tanks connected with clear pipes that ran around the room
I've got a pic of it somewhere, if I run across it I'll post it
