um ok im hopfully going to order a gold piranah soon so is a 55 gallon tank good cause im tryin to keep in on the down low
piranahseeker, If you are trying to keep the price down on the cost of the fish, just get the 5 RBP's. If you want just one fish for the 55 gallon then get a nice SERRA Piranha. If you go for a shoal then I would get the 5 p's and narrow it down to three after they get a little bigger. You can always sell/trade the others in at a LFS.
thing is i hear red belly piranahs are skiddish and i also want one i dont want alot of fish for the long haul and im wondering what tank would be good for a gold piranahpiranahseeker, If you are trying to keep the price down on the cost of the fish, just get the 5 RBP's.

There are diffrent kinds of Piranhas. Some can be housed together while some are solitary fish. The Pygo's can be housed together and it is recomended to have minimum of 20 gallons per fish. These fish can grow over a foot long so remember they need a lot of room. They are also a dirty fish and require a lot of filtration. Most of the other kinds can not live with other fish. They will kill anything put in the tank including there own kind. Piranha are skittish, but if you put them in a high traffic area they will get used to you.
no if it was a foot long a 55 would be too small. most serras top off at around 8-10 inches though.
sweet then il just get like a 60 or a 65 gallon tank thanks for the info from every body!
