I always see them listed as possible tank mates to piranhas, but I wanted to see if anyone has any experience keeping them together. I am curious on if they can coexist with my red bellies. If not experience, does anybody have an opinion about mixing the two?
Keeping Exodons with Piranhas

no it wont work long term only in public aquarium size tank could i ever see it working at all your just asking for trouble.
I have exdons in with my piranhas. I have a 150 gal tank with 3 exdons with 10 2 inch piranhas. I will keep you posted on how that works out. They have been fine for now but we will see. i plan on getting rid of three of the reds in the near future. but we will see.
I am definitely interested on how this is going to turn out for you. Hopefully success! Do they attack food together? I wanted to give it a try myself, but my Ps are 5 to 6 inches and have been together since they were about an inch. I think they may go after just about anything I put in their tank. My LFS that has exdons is selling them for $7 a piece, so if they ate them that would be so expensive food.
I started a thread like this a couple of years ago. The feed back I got was don't do it. The p's will eat the exodons eventually.
Yes they will sooner or later but right not its fun to watch them. The exodons attack the food first.
They'll be chomped maybe today, maybe tomorrow maybe next year, just because their exos doesn't have any relevance, unless it's a pygo its going to be eaten and sometimes pygos go after each other!

any one who's done this have pics? the one theme that's standing out to me is these are all new set ups (2 inch piranhas, means dude hasn't even had them for 3 months). sounds like there's no long term success here
I have seen it done on youtube and at a respected LFS. I know neither of those carry much weight with them, but they are examples. I think longterm may be an issue, but I was wondering how is it any different than people keeping other tetras with piranhas. They are small and fast plus they have attitude.
