I say all piranhas are aggressive with a doubt. But the stereotypical image everyone has is shattered once you actually get one in your personal tank. Before getting my shoal of natts, my gf was like they are killers and scary a** fish but once I got them... Her image of them flipped 180degrees. They would run everytime my gf would sit on the couch to observe their behavior. My guess is that any piranha that is comfortable in it's tank and is above 7-8" is all aggressive. Individually=bdp shoal=red belly piranhas no doubt.

It really depends on the keeper. You want a shoal of AGGRESSIVE red belly piranhas or 1 AGGRESSIVE black piranha(kinda boring to me just having 1)? I choose the shoal. But I would not mind having a bdp aside from my shoal. Would be FCKING nice ! ^.^

Any p that u can keep solo is an ambush hunter meaning no matter what it will kill ur existing fish, spilo, sanchezi and macs take awhile to grow, imo it would be better for you to buy a juvy and raise it, u can start with a small tank cuz they take awhile to grow. Juvy rhoms, sanchezi and spilos will all take some time to grow topping out at 7" or so beside the rhom which max is 12-15 in aquariums

This was meant for Andrews post oops

I used to have thirteen rb and one black that was half the size of he red bellys in the same tank and the reds never went near the black piranha . They usualy avoided the black piranha at all costs even when it came to feeding time they would wait till the black was done .

Thats some abnormal shiet! How long were they together? Did you ever separate them in the end ? What happened?

Not a good idea mixing a ambush predator with a shoaling Piranha species. U may get lucky for awhile but we all know how it will end...

This unfortunatly was when i was yunger and did not know any better but i got rid of the black after i did some research on both species.

I have a Gold Diamond Rhom and a Elongated and hands down in my 2's case elongated all the way he will regularly take a run at me if trying to work on something in the tank. Or will attack you through the glass as you walk by lol. Not big but has serious attitude. Most aggressive though is the one on the floor they are really nasty lol
