I just ordered 12 red bellied piranhas off Aquascape Online I am SOOO excited to recieve them!!!!
 
12 might be a lot for a 55. they'll thin themselves out, though.
 
I used to keep 5 in a 55. there was a little fin-nipping, but as long as you keep them well fed, there weren't any real problems.

just over-filter, and lots of water changes.
 
you could have saved on shipping, Shark aquarium usually has them in stock plus they have a nice display tank with some big piranhas in it

Agree.. trim it down to 3 - 4 eventually IMO, honestly 99.9% of reds won't get over 11".
