Hi,

First off ... This is my first post and I am very pleased to see a Piranha sections.

Piranhas are a fantastic fish. That seem to rub those the wrong way when they see they require a little extra attention.

Anyways.

I love always starting off by asking this question because since the beginning nobody has ever answered this question the same way twice.

My Setup:
1 x RBP in a 75 US Gallon tank. (yes yes he is a shoaling fish I know but his personality is right out there)

Do you know of any fish tolerated by Piranhas as tank mates?
 
no other fish are tolerated by piranhas, there is no other answer to this question. any fish put in with piranhas is a potential threat or potential meal.
 
people may have success with other fish living with their piranhas for short times, but they are always going to be a potential meal...

so how big is your natt?
 
yeah, natt = p. nattereri = red belly piranha

that's a good size, they always look really good when they are around the 6 inch mark. how long you had him?
 
Actually Its not been that long maybe 2-3 months.
So far easily my favorite fish. The personality and awareness is amazing.
 
another person that takes care of their piranha well.. i applaud you..
