Keeping piranha

[MN_Rebel]

It's true, it is very rare it will work. And from my own experience I would say don't do it. But my point was I have seen tanks online ( very few ) that have worked. I went to an aquarium in Majorca ( Spain ) and they had piranha, oscars, gar, flowerhorns, large catfish, and pleco's in the same tank. As I said better avoided but can be done.

Yeah with a huge aquarium like all public aquariums have! The problem is that piranhas are so unpredictable that they may attack their tankmates at any time whenever it be a week or a month or a year later. Of course the tankmates that survived often carried scars that caused by the piranhas.

only tankmates that might work are either plecos (rarely) or very large piranhas mixed with massive schools of very small tetras, preferably well camoflaged ones and keeping the ps very well fed so that there's no reason to kill the tetras, even then you will lose some tetras. Both of these plans will require a very large tank
