What are the best way of designing your tank for the RBPs? I was planning to do it with some white sands, rocks and a branch of tree.. is it preferable?
 
Make it look like amazon gravel or sand, rock, wood, and live plants. Be sure to make soom room for piranha to swim.

Right now, im not yet sure how big are they gonna be.. the dealer told me that it would be out in a week from now... my final plan is that i would be having a 75g tank and have 5 RBPs... wouldn't it be hard for me to set up plants in a 75g tank? because my friend told me that he did have a hard time in setting up a plant setup in his 10g tank...
 
5 RBP in 75gallon with be to crowed. this is no way you can keep your plants alive, piranha are fast swimmer it will run your plants over.

Your best bet is to have 3 piranha are the most in there. Wait until you get 125gallon then you have get 5.

Yet 75gallon planted are great. My suggestion is get a single SERRA. speciese with planted tank would be much better.

even 2 red's will ruin plants. . . . . i think so any way

That's what I'm doing when I get my rhom!! ^.^
 
piranha's are rough on live plants i have a few in with my rhom and all he does is tare them up. so i moved them to the manni's tank and he's a little gentler. for all piranha's fallow the 20-30gal rule... 1 piranha for every 20-30gallons.
and if you plan on keeping all 5 upgrade to a 120+ when they get to 5"-6". or just get a huge tank and make a mix shoal with caribe, tern, reds, piraya
