Adult piranha with juveniles

Glad to see another piranha keeper in the hobby... rare breed these days lol.
What size are the juvies?... imo if they are smaller than 6 inches I wouldnt bother. The 8 incher already claimed that tank and adding juvies wont help. If you want a small shoal your best bet would be to sell the 8 incher off. And get a group of 3-4 small reds. I would take all decour out of the tank except substrate. This helps aggression by not giving them territories. Reds are docile but u never know on individual personalities of these fish.
The 75 gallon would hold the 3-4 juvie reds for a couple years just make sure u have good filtration and water change schedule.
Eventually the reds will need a 125. If u plan on upgrading to a 125 than you can up the shoal to 6-8... which I believe is a good number
