some words of advice...

change your location... p's arent exactley legal where you are.. and here people go with the get a shoal idea.. piranha school for defensive reasons not for hunting.. they are SOLITARY and aggressive.. they just happen to tolerate other fish in the wild and in captivity if enough room is present.. your 90 idea should support ideally 4 or less fish.. especially caribe.. they get very large and are THE most aggressive pygo, by specie anyway. and he will grow fast.. solitary pygos in captivity tend to be skittish and less aggressive then their serrasalmus counterparts.. but since yours is so small you should have no problem cracking his shell (so to speak ) and having him be very aggressive.. if you want this caribe to be flawless and a show stopper i say grow him out by himself feeding him nothing but the best foods and give him the best water quality.. like i do with the fish in my avatar.. goodluck man hes gunna be a monster someday soon.. more then those wolves you were looking for!

ohhh one more question waa kinda food should i give him thank

pete
 
im figuring you got him at aquascape.. hes the only guy i know with caribe at that size.. i would say that you should shoot him a quick message and see what they were feeding him.. i would start off with frozen bloodworms and small pellets.. a good color enhancing pellet it ideal to bring out the red color.. something like hikari biogold or dainichi color fx for african cichlids.. something else that works well good growth are hikari sinking carnivore pellets.. as he get larger i would would sustain him with silverside and market shrimp and substitute with the pellets.. bloodworms are a crazy color enhancer im currently growing out my atf with them and hes doing well..

nahh i order it from http://www.sharkaquarium.com/store.cfm?menu=shop
 
i just got 6 babies from shark aquarium at 1 inch, they are great, mixed with 3 more reds, 9 in a 125g
 
oh yea had them 24hrs. chowing down on blood worms and raw shrimp, standard
 
when should i upgrade my tank to 90g right now Pygocentrus cariba is 1.5 inches and in 55g i think imma just him in the tank by him self.......should i still upgrade it to 90g or i dun have to...........
 
generally speaking your fish should get in upwards of 14 inches.. your 55 standard is 13 inches in width.. your solo caribe should be fine in that tank for a while to come.. but still a 90 would be better.. only because of the width of the tank.. but like i said your caribe should be fine in that tank for a long time.. the biggest caribe i have seen was only like 10 inches so even at that size he would be ok in there.. but once hes claimed that tank as his territory i wouldnt reccomend trying to add anything else.. or you can just for fun : )
