Hello I have a few questions and I need some tips etc And hear from you guys what I should do

I plan on getting 5 .5-1" Red belly's and I want to make sure I have a good setup for them such because I've never had these types of fish before.
I'm thinking about feeding them feeders (when they get bigger) and some pellets for vegetable purposes and maybe talipa now and then.

equipment; Currently I am running a 46 gallon tank with a Aqua Clear Fluval Power Filter and a Tetra Whisper UL Air Pump for Aquariums, Size 060 running one bubbler on one side of the tank I also have two 100w heaters to keep the tank a solid 70-80 f°

Decor; currently I have black rocks from Petco fake plants and some rock piles in the middle that I found by a river and cleaned up I also have a background for the tank and planing on getting a fake wood root system where they can go in and out of

I want atleast one sucker fish in the tank to clean it up which would be a good choice?

Is there any recommendations you guys would have for me or am I good with the stuff I have now?

Tank doesn't look large enough for adults.as far as feeders u should avoid goldfish and quarantine feeders at least a week,précis may get eaten,snails are probably better.
 
piranhas will get too big for that tank, i suggest looking for a different
species of fish for that tank unless you have plans to upgrade the
tank to a much larger one pretty soon. not to mention in many cases
if theyre cramped in a small tank they will just kill each other until only
one is left.

I would suggest another species as a 46 gallon isn't nearly large enough for piranha's. I would look into exodons? Will this tank work short term for RB that size, YES! But it is short term.
 
as already echo'ed above, tank is too small for RBP's. I'd get exodons or do some type of comm tank.

You also can't have a pleco in with P's. May work for a little or for a while longer but eventually the pleco gets got.

EDIT just realized the threads already like a month old almost, this OP probably isn't coming back lol.
