I’m personally more of a pygo fan, but since you already have a shoal of reds I would say a rhom (or any Serra) would be a cool change in pace.

That’s what I’m thinking because worse case if I got ahold of some caribe I would be able to put them in the reds tank right

Get a shoal of geryi. Best of both worlds. Aggressiveness of serrasalmus and schooling of pygocentrus.

They can be by themselves. Really no minimum but more is better to curve potential aggression.

Ok thank you I’ll check them out that’s what I’m looking for is the aggression but would be good to have multiple fish because one can get boring

Look them up on YouTube. Some awesome schools on there in planted tanks. Also maculatus has been schooled before. They may be more affordable price wise but they (in my opinion) don't look as good as geryi

Those Geryis look nice if I can get ahold of a few I guess whatever I get ahold of first caribe or geryis. There’s a black at aquasape worst case but I like schooling ones more
