Tinfoil barb with piranhas??

how long do you think it would last ??

a single red belly with an 85gal tank and about 4 to 6 pcs of tinfoil

the piranha is about 5 inches
 
would be a great dinner
maybe not at first ... but then .. ( could some one key in the jaws theme music please) MUNCH
 
I think it should be fine, depending on size.
 
you'd be surprised how cheesy piranha are. but jus dont get attatched cuz it could change in an instance. i had a butti with my piranhas for over 3 months. nips here n there but its still alive. pair of convicts live with them, they put up witha pair of oscars as well. no dead tank mates.
 
well before getting to the fact will it work, it will not, because you can't keep, 4-6 14" max fish, in a 85 gallon aquarium, next the p probly wouldn't even touch the tinfoils, even if you got them small, he'd be scared out of his mind, but it can't be done anyway, so no, i probly wouldn't even keep one tinfoil in a 85, becuase they are active swimmers to, so large tanks are needed
 
It would last a while, due to the fact there will be one sole piranha scared out of his wits most of the time. But hunger and temptation will prevail over time. But as said, tinfoils are very active fish, why not just keep 4 happy piranhas in that setup?

what kind of p is it
 
Tinfoils have really big scales. Sounds like a big target for a quick snack.

tnx for the info guys

i forgot the fact that tinfoils gets large heheheh

its a solitary red belly.

maybe ill try to get some tin foils.

at least the tank will not be boring and there is an activity.
