No.

This comes from experience. Don't do it. Half eaten bichirs are not a pretty site. I have kept 5 different species of piranha and it wouldn't work with any of them.

NO, NO, NO....I had a pleco in with my rbps and it came up missing one day. They had never even looked at him then, bam, he was gone.

Bichir won't last long. Sorry. Would be cool though

What size tank would one need for 8-12 rbp? What is an appropriate size shoal?

A good general number is 20gal per piranha, but that doesn't mean 1 p would be a good in a 20. That being said Imo a 180gal is a minimum for 8 pygos and for 12 a 200gal atleast!

Generally a decent shoal starts off at 5 and for some reason p keepers think odd numbers are better, I've had a shoal of 6 and 5 didn't really see a difference.

You have to remember that red bellies can hit 8-10" on avg, imagine a dozen of those, they will create more poop then you!
