Can Red Belly Piranha and bichir keep together

[L10N]

Hello guys,
I am new here. I have a Red belly piranha who is about 4-5" and Saddled Bichir is near 8".
Will it be okay if I keep them together in 50gallon tank with planted set up?
Thanks in advance guys...
I wanted to try that in next week if possible

Nope. Piranha should be own species tank

Welcome aboard
Agree with Caveden

Welcome to the forum!
I also agree.
Short answer is no, long answer is that the bichirs will be spaghetti.
Very few fish can live with piranhas, and this generally requires very large tanks and very well fed piranhas.

I will try single piranha then

As a side note, I wouldn’t expect piranhas to treat plants well. They are primarily carnivorous, but will also gladly eat vegetation. Mine would tear apart plastic plants.
