i say try to keep them all. i have 9 rbp in my 100gal tank which is the same dimensions as yours. and i see plenty of room to grow and plenty of xtra space. plus a larger shoal looks way better.
 
get rid of the ones that u dont want in a year. it'll be atleast 5-6 months b4 they start lookin at all cramped if at all.
 
SO BOUT 6, I JUST RECOUNTED THEM I GOT 12, ALL YHEA, I GOT A DOZ PIRANHAS!!:nilly: , WHAT BOUT HOW OLD BEFORE I KNOW HOW MANY BREDDING PAIRS ILL HAVE??, I GUESS ILL HAVE TO GET ANOTHA 100GALL FOR MY OTHA 6!!
 
it'll be over a year b4 any pair off if at all. no real way of doing anything to help. they just need to mature, and pair off. some people have kept the same group of rbp for 3+ years and never got any babies.
 
a year is a long time away,thats cool , i have that long before i have to upgrade my tank, what would be a good size for a school of twelve?
