Depends on the dimensions of the tank. I would not recommend putting 10 RBPs in a 48"x24"x30" tank.

What are you tank dimensions?

Not sure of the dimensions. I haven't moved to my apartment yet so I can't measure it now, but I have pics!

Hope this works.

Ignore me in the picture...haha...

Again...Oscar's will not be in this tank with the piranha's. haha.

This might be a 180 gallon...not too sure. I'll have to get the measurements next time I go to my parents.

that's a standard 150 72x18x30

The rule of thumb with RBPs is 20 gal per fish. (take how much decor you have into consideration also) So a 150 would house 7 1/2. So 8 if you go by the rule of 20 gal per fish. Now I do not by any means follow this rule. So I still say go with more as long as they can hide and get feed often.
