Im considering purchasing some or a pirahna. My dilema is whether I should purchase 4-5 Red Bellies or a single Peruvian Black. Ive done my homework and realize the requirements for each of these species I just cannot decide whether I want a mob (red bellies) or a single bad a*s!! Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Hmmm, I don't have experience with "MOBs" but I think they would be cooler during feeding times and would impress more people. But I myself have one bad ass, an Elongatus, and I've been very pleased with him, the upside to one solo fish is the low maintance that comes with it, and the fact that a solo fish will surely stay "pretty" being there is nothing to nip at their fins etc. Even though RBs are fine to have in groups, I pretty much always see them with torn fins and stuff. I would weigh out the ups and downs and make your choice, which as I stated already, I went with one bad ass fish that sits around and tries to fight his own reflection..

you'll end up with one "peru black p fish", so there's really no point in buying 4.

Hey man save yourself some money and your fish and dont put in black p's with your red bellys. The black's will kill your red belly's and then kill each other. They are a solitary fish and you will end up with 1 black.
