Default Anybody Know How Much PIRAHNAS are worth?

My dad buys houses and rents them out to people. This last house he bought, the previous owner had two pirahnas and he decided to leave them there. They are about 5-6in. long. Anybody know how much these little suckers are worth?

Well they are illegal for sale in AZ so watch who you sell them to. Do you know what kinda piranhas they are? Can you take pics of them or describe them?

I do know that they are legal in some states and illegal in others. They are usually illegal in warm states like CA, AZ, etc...

if they are bellies red/orange color (most common) they are not worth that much. If you can find a buyer maybe $50+ each. If they are a different color then they are worth more. Black being the most expensive (mean as a ****).

i'm sure they are. The black one should be the most aggressive. If it really is black, that puppy is worth new cam gears at least!

I don't know the first thing about taking care of them. The only thing I found on the net last night is that they like warm water. That was a no brainer though seeing as they come from S. AFRICA...

There are many different type of piranhas:

THESE PHOTO WERE TAKING FROM KNIFEMAN'S COLLECTION:

PIRAYA



TERNETZI AND PIRAYA


these are the most expensive ones, you probably have the red belly piranha, these piranhas are typical fish where u can easily get them at legal pet stores. They are not as aggressive as these piranhas nor are they as nice as these ones. Red bellys are very skittish and IMO are not worth keeping. Red bellys are also the cheapest piranha to buy, so don't expect to get a high price for them

typical 5-6 inch. $30


Post some pics up and I'll tell you wat piranha u have.

pirahnas...it depends...if they are red bellies...they are CHEAP and common...judging by the sizes quoted...probably 20bux each at the most... if they are black pirahnas...those are expensive and they usually stay solo in a fish tank... black pirahnas are solitary fish... get an arowana....those fishes are the shiznit!
