Im debating on ether a black mask black diamond rhom or a manueli. Im not super familiar with piranha species so figured i would come here. Im looking for a interactive aggresive fish with personality possible to be kept with exodons. Which is more rare? Which do you like and why?
Black diamond rhom or manueli?

A rhom is a rhom regardless of color variant and that color changes based on age and tank decor. Often a ploy to charge more money.
Manueli is significantly more rare and more sensitive. The personally depends on the individual fish. Some are Devils and some are princesses that hide all day.

I know I'm late on the reply, but in my experience neither will be an interactive fish. I've never had a manny, but neither my rbp's or my rhom were interactive. LFS had a manny for a while that literally stayed in one corner of the tank until it was time to eat.
My Sera has never eaten in front of me in the 1.5 years ive had him. he was purchased at 1" and is now about 5.5". I catch him swimming late at night or when he doesnt think I'm around but when he sees me move he darts behind his log. I think a manny in general is a more interactive/aggressive fish. i could have a real wimp of one but since its a planted tank and my hands are always in the tank I'm ok with it haha.
I had a Manny which I lost at 5", at that size he was very active, he chased my finger over the glass trying to bite it... Mean sob, shame they are very fragile, like a power cut can kill em fragile. That's what happened to mine, maybe an emergency air pump would have helped. Coolest piranha by a country mile imo.
