Hiya Erikman, welcome to MFK.
Four or five should work.
They have reclassed the red belly from a Serrasalmus to a Pygocentris species.

Add a filter and go for 5, 6 if you are getting them at 1" or so.

With overfiltering Id think you could get away with 6-7

Heck yea, get like at least 7, a couple will probly kill eachother anyway, welcome to mfk also, im going to start p's as soon as my 135 is done, gonna put aproximatly a butt load of them in there!

yea, thats my plan, ive had p's on and off forever, never had successfull breeding though, ive had them buddy up and look like they were gonna, but nope, all ***.

hey, does this make sense, buy have the p's from one store, and half from another, so they arent brother and sister...or does the same damn fish guy drop them to all the stores anyway?????
