A fish is a fish, i dont even understand debate (no dis intended like the thread just like 2 get soap box out now and again) u like this, dont like that, thats human nature ! it is a hobby 2 keep fish, they not toys, u cant 'play' with them, they are not there impress people, keep fish 4 right reasons and there all great, from a goldfish which some use as feeders, while others show loving and attentive care for years right up 2 sharks !As for living up 2 a rep, your fault for believeing hype , piranhas of all types when kept in correct conditions are Amazing ! have a look at large aquarium display of Pygros , my local have 100 Nats all above 12 inches in a huge tank, can stand there 4 ages ! theres no song and dance unless feeding, just a sight 2 behold. I keep large black P , one minute he will b chasing the dog up and down tank , next wont move for ages! ( right now he has face pressed up against glass watching my mouse hand!) . As for the reds i have kept 6 natts for 2 years, although fairly easy 2 spook when comfortable more than 90 percent of the time they are a formidable shoal of fish even a huge chunk of steak was revaged like a burger at a kids party! Have kept lots of other fish Arowanas, dorado,oscars and other cichlids mixed community tanks my favs are ps , yours may not be- bad luck!
