Breeding doesn't work like that with serrasalmus species, especially S. rhombeus. It's only been done a handful of times in captivity- in swimming pools, and ponds. Piranhas are not sexually dimorphic which means you can't tell the sex, and S. rhombeus are extremely aggressive towards conspecifics. As far as a I know that don't mate for life either. They don't really pair like cichlids. When dealing with piranhas think "giant killer tetra."
 
Howdy,

You've got a big tank, get big fish: 6 pirayas :cool:
