there's some things I need to know. I was needing to know how should I go about cleaning a piranha tank without getting bitten? red belly piranha and/or black piranha. Also, I've seen people use sand in their tanks. Good idea? please tell me everything I need to know. Stuff like about feeding, growth rates, things from personal experience, etc.

Out of the 60 or so piranhas I’ve had only one Red P or Sanchezi I had to watch, others mainly scatter...
Just pay attention... you could get an extra long gravel vac. I may have used an egg rate divider at one point, clean half - shoo them to one side. Then clean the other.

if I get sand, how would I go about cleaning sand? gravel seems to trap too much stuff under it and I worry the thing I use to suck the junk out might suck out sand
I have not owned any yet but I've had multiple tanks at once for years and many types of fish. I feel that I'm ready for new fish. Gotta start somewhere
Hi, had a Red belly piranha. Not that skittish as everybody has mentioned so shouldnt take any chances. Me had a bare bottom tank for the piranha as he would create lot of waste which was easy to clean without the substrate.
If you want to keep a substrate you can easily keep sand as that is easy to clean provided you have good filteration system. I personally stir up the sand in my current tank and let the filteration do its work.
Posted a few snaps of my Piranha.
