Hiya Wiseman4400, as you might of noticed this is not a chatroom forum , It takes a while before you get a response but if you check back everyonce in awhile we do answer. Welcome to MFK by the way.
Your red belly is probably a nattereri and can get to 14" long but usually don't get bigger than around 9-10". A standard 29g is 30" long, 12" wide and 18" tall. Even keeping just the one you should get a wider tank, Glasscages makes a tank that is 36"x 18"x 13"tall (40g) for $60 that would work great for you. Hope that helps.

i would go with a larger tank and then get a few more red bellies. need more info on your filteration. you also need a heater for the tank temp should be low 80s.

Get a bigger tank and keep more fish.

deff get a bigger tank with more fish, if u want a solitary fish then go for a serra

Piranhas are fish, that normally lives in groups. When they are kept alone, they often get nervous and shy. I would get a bigger tank and more of the same type of fish. But you must remember that they are just like pigs, while eatin. The tank gets really messy after a while.. So you need a really good filtration system.
Sorry that my English is pretty bad...
