How fast do baby reds grow

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
baby red what?
 
I know nothing about piranha but asked because I might have been able to if it was something else.
 
Fast.....then slow. Expect them to.be 8-10 inches within a year. Then they bulk up and grow slow as they age.

Tank size?

I have 4 in a 55 gal, just because I've had them eat each other when small so I got an extra . Looking into a large tank after Xmas
 
I kept 5 of them in a 75 as juvies@1&1/2", 4months later I had one beastly 7"rbp left in the tank , I fed them well, raw beef heart good fast growth from that, tilapia, market shrimp, a few feeders once a month, but no matter how well fed they were they slowly killed and ate eachother as they got bigger, super messy fish, they always killed each other at night with the tank dark.they definitely have a cool factor, but a highly overrated fish in my opinion. I just feel there are better predators out there
