Hello, I am interested in either a black piranha or a tank with 5 red belly piranhas. My tank is 100 gallons and I was wondering which one would you guys recommend? Which choice should I be happier in the long run with? Also please provide as much info as you can if you have experience with one of these. I have done my research though so I know a pretty good amount of info on each one, but I have never owned one of these of course. I do want to hear what you guys who have had experience with both of these or at least one would recommend. Thank You.

If you don't have patience a Black piranha will not be a good choice they grow slow.

If you have the patience to grow one out to a big size (around 10") you can make a lot of money on your original investment though

I had both at one stage and had to get rid of one and decided to keep the red bellies and don't regret it

if you go red belly you've the choice of caribe, payara and normal natts. Plus more movement in the tank

I loved my black but he didn't really do much
