I need help to know where to purchase a pair or school of red belly piranah. I'm trying to collect a collection of rare but very aggressive fish I currently own

Jeff rapps has been the supplier of most. But he doesn't sell piranah!

Try this site www.predatoryfish.net. They should be able to point you in the right direction on this.

You might also want to check your local laws on keeping these. I know a lot of southern states won't allow you to keep them or buy / sell them. If it's illegal there then a breeder can't send them there.

According to at least one website (kencofish.com), it is illegal to possess a piranha in Louisiana. I know that there are groups working to change such laws, but I am not sure that they will manage to do so, nor do I know the names or any contact information. You might be able to get a special permit, but kencofish.com mentioned in their list the states which allowed for that. I would urge you to check your local laws, and then possibly work with your local legislators to change them. If you do mangae to enact such a change, please post a new thread detailing the process so that the rest of our Southern friends can benefit from your wisdom (and our Massachusetts ones as well, plus maybe a few other piranha-eschewing state).
