2 Red Belly Piranha in a 50g Long Tank? would that be fine?? cause i know 1 RB can fit in a 40-50g fine n still stay healthy i be wondering if 2 RB can stay in a 50-55g?
 
ya but they will be super skittish and most likely not eat in front of you.
 
Its best to keep them in groups of 4-6 to reduce aggression. 2 will probably attack eachother. Not only that but you can't really appreciate them in pairs or alone. Have you considered sanchez's piranhas? they only grow to 6 inches so you could probably keep a small group in there depending on dimensions. Sorry, i'm not familiar with American tank measurements, I'm assuming a 50 long is 4ft?

well the thing is the only tank i got them is 60g long and i cant really keep alot cause parent r soo strict wid rule.... they let me keep 2 but not more.... and teh skittish part is fine cause i can find a different method to make them not skittish :3

well my friend keep his 2 RB together when they was 1inch now they 10inch and they doesnt kill each other??? and i do have a sanchez piranha. the sanchez is in a 50g long by himself cause i just brought him a solo fish and i know all piranha post to be schooling fish but not all since i did some reasearch n call AquaScapeOnline. com they said it fine to have a solo Sanchez online since it a Solo like rhoam but im just wondering if it fine to keep 2 if i fed them well enough equal and all.
