Pygocentrus ternetzi

Pygocentrus ternetzi, the Yellow Piranha, stands out for its striking yellow to gold coloration. Being one of the larger piranha species, they require a spacious tank setup. They are known to be aggressive, particularly as they mature, which calls for careful tankmate consideration. They should not be housed with smaller or slow-moving fish to avoid predation. Additionally, their tanks should include hiding spots and be densely planted to mimic their natural habitats.
