Serrasalmus elongatus

Serrasalmus elongatus, or the Elongate Piranha, exhibits typical piranha behavior. They are chiefly solitary and may show aggression towards other tank mates, especially if space is limited. Care should be taken when handling or maintaining their tanks due to their sharp teeth and nippy nature. A well-planted tank with driftwood and hiding spots mimics their natural environment. Regular feeding and proper tank maintenance will ensure they thrive in captivity.
