Piranha for 55 gal

Good choice.
I'd recommend getting him around 4" or less if possible. Not alot of people have grown this species out past 7" in a aquarium. The smaller you get him the more enjoyment watching him grow.

i knew those rbp would eventually end up in your rip signature.... why do you have so many fatalities?

need a piranha for my 55 gal. Preferably one I can keep in there for life.

You need this one!

go at least with a 100g too much load for 55g you would have to clean filters once a week

Not even close. 55 is fine for an elong.
Maybe your talking about the pics above. Thats not a 55.

I guess I don't know who your talking to.

idk, but they didnt die because I had two together and not because they were in the wrong sized tank. So your reasons that you said they would die for were wrong. I did find some old food in the bottom of the tank behind some rocks this might be the cause.

I agree, it may take me a while to find one that small but I think aquascape has them from time to time.

Ash in Dearborne occassionally has some around 4"-5". Might be worth checking out seeing you're in MI.
