Friends of piranha?

the only tank mates a piranha can have for you to have 100% results are:

driftwood
rocks
gravel
plants.

thats about it

what size tank do you have your 3"rbp in and how were you feeding them where they had to each other??? there is a lot of disinformation out here about p's in general. first- what works for some, might not for others. P's are very easily kept with other fish. otherwise the amazon and its tributaries would be empty! PM if you want to talk thanks, tim

no tigerfish, but you can put an exodon paradoxus with them

Man do you dig fossils for a living?

 

[ronnie]

if the tank is large enough and the P is big enough you could get a large school of Exodon paradoxus. they are small and very fast and agile fish. hell they may even nip at the P every now and then. at the old lfs i used to work at id throw all the culls in the Exodons tank and watch the mini feeding frenzy. cool fish. just an idea. nothing is sure fire

this is good.

i have read that this two can be kept together.

as long as you got a large tank.

maybe some tetras

My exos lasted about 5 seconds with my 4 pygos in a 125!

no the pacu will probaly kill the red bellies if it is aggressive if not it will get way to big for an 80 unless kept by itself.

Piranha's are very unpredictable creatures. i had a Pleco for months with my RBP, but then one morning i found him with a huge bite in his side, oozing a bit, so i moved it out, the Pleco did recover very nicley thou.
