Piranha like fish that are not exodons

[tiger15]

In order to look piranha, they need to have similar body shape and red color. I have Congo tetra, elongated body and no red, bleeding heart tetra, red but top fin too showy, Diamond tetra, no red and fins too lomg.
Columbia is by far the closest. Never have Columbia. Are they aggressive towards one another?

Also forgot to mention it doesnt need to be small and doesnt need to be a tetra

Wimple piranha (even though a piranha), charax gibbosus and sp, oligosarcus, rhoadsia altipinna, and roeboides guatemalensis.

U can email Wesley Wong for altippina. He had some fry that were for sale but not sure on stock. Can try tuic for r guatelemensis. Their current stock doesn’t show it but they were able to bring it in. Can try both for any of these fish hope u find something that’s manageable.

The 11 colombians I had were too busy spawning and eating the eggs as they scattered to nip. They shoaled together as a school and the congos as a school, but they didn't nip at eachother. Could be the larger school discourages nippy behavior because I have heard they can be nippy. Not my experience though.

I mean thats true with all species that i know about they lose any aggression to other when their school is bigger

So im planning to make a 55 planted aquarium with some baby monster fish like a baby SALfish ,A
a baby black knife fish, and A baby ropefish/ maybe bichir, so i want to know of any piranha like fish that will school in middle level of the aquarium that are not exodons because the exodons are not really compatible for my

I second columbian tetras

 

[Joshuakahan]

Oh so they may nip at the knife and lungfish???

My experience with Columbians is they bicker with each other and establish a pecking order, but leave others alone, I’d be more concerned with the lungfish killing everything
