Five years ago DH wanted piranhas for Father's day and of course, I got him 5, two inches long from somewhere in NJ very cheap. We (OK, me) have cared for this animals for quite some time and they have grown a lot. Last summer one of the piranhas died. It was the largest one, 10 inches long. I took it to a taxidermist. It feels like it was such a long time ago with everything that has happened since. I even paid for it then (good thing, because now I couldn't). I had totaly forgotten about it and the guy called me yesterday to tell me the fish is ready. Jorge's birthday is today, so I saw there the perfect opportunity to give it to him as a birthday present, since it was paid for and everything. He as so amazed! The taxidermist did a great job. He didn't know anything and was almost in tears to see it. He loves his fish so much and now he has it forever. Here is a pic of it.
