Sup Matt

If you want to keep 3 piranha...You HAVE to go with a species from the pygocentrus genus ie. Red bellies, piraya, cariba ect..

you cannot keep any (except maybe geryi) serrasalmus species together

BUT you wouldnt be able to keep 3 pygos in their for life...you would need to upgrade eventually

Personally i'd go for a nice Serrasalmus Sanchezi...you could house one in a 55gal for life and they are lovely looking

I hope this helped

1 more question is Serrasalmus Sanchezi realitively common to get ahold of

 

[Tyrone]

No probs mate...so what do you think your going to go with?

Heres a pic of a georgous sanchezi i came across a while back on P-Fury...after seeing this pic i nearly bought one

 

[Tyrone]

They should be easy enough to get hold of one...but of course i live in the UK so im not 100% on how easy it would be for you...but they are not rare at all

yeah im prob. going to go with sanchezi. they are some great looking fish

Cool...but make sure you do some proper research and look about a bit before go and buy a sanchezi...you might find something else...but a sanchezi and maybe an irritan are the only piranha's you could house permanently in a 55gal

I'm infamous on this board for keeping 16 red belly piranhas in a 55.

a mac or an eigenmanni would work out pretty well in a 55
