Fish tank question
I have a 55 gallon tank. I had a Albino Channel Catfish that ate everything else in the tank. We moved to a new house and the transition killed it. I am now wanting to get some Pirhannahs. Is there anything special I need to do to prepare my tank for this type of fish?

well # 1. they are illegal in the states so your local pet land or Bobs tropical pet shop wont carry them.
Your gonna have to board a plane to the amazon and catch them yourself...lol. j/k
Petland doesnt sell them for sure. You might have to search for one of those mom and pop fish pet shops and ask them.
Honestly, I wouldnt even get those fish. MY little cousins would stick their finger in the tank at times. Now imagine if i had those fish.
