I was wondering could you house a piranha with other larger fishes? Maybe a piranha with a 6" diameter with a 13" payara or 13" gatf? Will it work or will the piranha just tear the other fish apart? Will placing only one piranha be okay or does it have to be a shoal?
Red belly with other larger fish?

I tried it with a Caribe that I grew to like 6 inches ..the fish was a beauty ... the first night he bit a portion out of my army's tail. So I sold him to another guy who I told not to put it in community or with other fish . He didn't listen and put it in with a bunch of stuff. It almost killed his sting rays and everything else in the tank..a red belly though is not as bold but pirahanas over all eat other fishes fins so I don't know how it would go
Depends a lone redbelly won't likely kill a much bigger fish,just keep in mind that if you keep a redbelly with a larger fish it should be something that won't eat your rbp, I've seen them kept with big koi and pacu before
U can try it a payara dont they get like over 2ft and the gatf gets bigger tht piranha is lunch for them
piranhas don't do well with other species but you might get lucky with a school of pygos (reds, caribas, ternetzis, piyaras) and a school of exodons in a big tank. serrasalmus species are solitary but you can have a school of spilos in a tank with lots of swimming space.
