I have a 180 6x2 and was wanting to know how long it could live in there or if I should go for a different piranha
Tank size for a manueli

How big are you buying it? Regardless it'd be set for life. Theyre pain fully slow growers (inch a year) and don't reach the size you see being pulled out of the water in the wild
You're most likely going to find 4-8 inches for sale in the U.S., making that tank a pain for feeding just a solo small fish and a waste of space

I have a 75 and a 40b and it would share the tank with either exodons or neets once in the 180 or if there's any other larger piranha I'm not set on the Manny but would like one
Rhoms are easier to find then manueli. There's several different shapes and colors if you buy already large.
Ever looked at all the options on aquascapeonline.com?

Rhoms are great fish too. Definitely alot easier to attain at larger sizes... which will save yourself many (many) years of growing out a small one. You can also get away quite fine with keeping a juvie manny or rhom in a smaller tank. They do take years to grow, it's just a little more work with water maintenance. I was just saying that in a larger tank the manny is likely to be active and use it. I think they might actually grow faster in a smaller tank too, but will then need to be moved as they get bigger... Manny you could possibly get away with tank mates for a while, exos though will get picked off. With the rhom I highly doubt they would tolerate any tankmates of any kind. But you are always free to try.
@ballin.
That tank is a 480 gallon, 8' x 4' tank... split between a couple mannies. Don't plan to keep the dollars there, they are too rowdy, but just to show that manueli can have a tolerance level to a certain degree. They do occasionally nip the fins.
