I have them in a 75g which I will move them to a much bigger tank so they grow. (Sorry for the bad pics) Reactions: tlindsey, danotaylor and Deadeye

Be ready for a lot of aggression - keeping up with feedings and giving lots of hiding spots/territories should keep it at bay. Main thing is to keep the lights dim to keep them comfortable- piranhas are very sensitive to bright light. Reactions: tlindsey, Miks786 and danotaylor
