Sorry, this question seems kinda noobish but Ive seen so many different rules and fish per gallon, and I figured the best reference would be the people who have experience with them so.... I want to know if 3 rbp's would go well in a 55 and if 3 would be enough (in your experiences, i know that it is kind of subject to fish personalities) to keep the aggression down. .. If that doesnt sound right to you, im open to suggestions as well.
 
I would probably end up giving them up by then like a year or more but thanks for the reply... if anyone else has experience with this type of setup please let me know how it would work :) Thanks.

Alot of my buds on here are P guys. Three would last you more than a year man. more like 3+ if they are small now.
 
They are at my lfs and they're about 2 inches I would say so getting one right now would be kind of bland... How many would you suggest to last 1 + years.

that size in a 55 for one year you could do 5 easy.

they are 20$ each does that sound fair to you... now I have to find 100$ to spare haha (last question....i swear)


eh, that does not sound horrible. I have seen better prices, but it just all depends on how common they are around your neck of the woods.
 
I lied, not last question...... I should buy them all at the same time right, rather than like getting 2 and then 3 later on.
 
At shark aquarium which is like 40 min away from me , they have 1 inch piranha for 6 $. Would it be worth it to get the 1'' or to get a 2- 2.5'' piranha for 20 dollars. Im asking because I know when they're younger they are not as strong and probably have a lower survival rate. Im also asking this because of feeding, would it be difficult to feed a 1 '' RBP?
