Me too. I have some little RBp's in a 60 and I took offense to it. They are not timid whatsoever. They follow my movements in the fish room.
 
On the new setup...
 
keep em very well fed and keep temp at 76-78 to keep agression down untill their like 6", by then it will be time for a larger tank. plants/branchy driftwood is nice to break up space and provide cover for each P. when i had p's they liked to play in bubbles so maybe add a bubble stone. once they get 3" or so throw in a powerhead for current, it gives them excercise and also helps keep aggresion down. and have fun, i raised 7 rbp's from dime size, ite very rewarding to know you grew em from tiny babies.

I actually have a powerhead in there right now. I will soon be adding a bubble wand, maybe tomorrow. I also got these when they were like dime sized maybe even less.
 
I think I might be getting one more p for my tank. One of the p's in my tank is a loner and I think he is gettin picked on. He doesnt eat much and only stays towards the surface. I dont think he is gonna last long. So I will get another tomorrow and hope all goes well. Also the owner of the pet store called me and asked if I would take the last piranha off her hands. The last time i went in there i got 2 of the 3 and she can not sell the last one. I think that I am going to get it.
 
might as well take it off their hands if they only have one. it's a win/win situation
 
Yeah I already know that if i dont want to keep all of my p's when they get bigger I can sell them to a few friends. I have already had like 3 friends ask me about it because our petstore most of the time sells them before they get big. All of my friends want "badass big piranhas" but dont want to raise them themselves. The biggest piranha I have seen at my pet store was only like 2 inches.
