In addition to my last reply, I’ll say not a $&@?$ $&?@en chance this will work
I've kept RBP before and the minimum setup I would recommend would be at least 5 fish or more in a 125gal tank, no tank mates. With 5 fish you start to get that schooling behavior ex/ when feeding, which is part of the interest keeping this fish IMO. It also allows space for the school to swim. Of course they can be kept in smaller tanks.
yeah its awesome when piranha group up into schools, I so badly wish I didn't live in FL because they're not legal here 
Check out exodons, they are what the piranha stereotype isyeah its awesome when piranha group up into schools, I so badly wish I didn't live in FL because they're not legal here
I lived in cold Minnesota at the time so it was no problem, now I live in the tropics and I'm severely limited in what fish species I can import.yeah its awesome when piranha group up into schools, I so badly wish I didn't live in FL because they're not legal here
I brought home a couple of these from the lfs when I was a young kid and almost couldn't believe my eyes seeing their behavior. I really liked them but ultimately had to bring them back to save all the other fish in the tank.
