I have a 75 gallon tank and would love to get some Pirahna. A friend of mine had red bellies and they were REALLY boring. What could I get that would be better than red bellies without spending a ton of money? And how many pirahnas can I have in a 75 gallon?

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.
 
I think you for red bellies it is 15 gallons per full grown fish...so technically only 4. I think you want at least 6 so they "school" more naturally. If I had a 75 it would have a jaguar cichlid in it.
 
well i could also keep just one in the tank, like a big Elongatus piranha. I'm willing to keep just ONE piranha in the tank as long as its either really active or really mean.
