Yes but will they live? Depends on your fish.

But: snails, larger plecos, ghost shrimp, smaller crawfish, clams. Some people have had luck and some people have lost fish. either way make sure that the fish CANNOT HARM YOUR SERRASALMUS! Ive kept snails with my shoal of rbp and lately they ate them same with crawfish, my rhom is only 2/3" big but i keep him SOLO!

Most likely not, and if you do, it will be years and years from now.
 
I agree with the above answers. Your tank is good for a long while as Black Piranha are slow growers. You can try a pleco or crawfish or whatever but the outcome will be the same, that black p will eventually kill it off. The only time I've seen success with co-habing anything with piranhas is when the p is huge and is kept with small fish like tetras.
 
I only have one black could I get more. I know they become less skidish as they grow. But could I get a school of black. I had red bellies before, they were preferred to be in schools.
