Whats the "coolest"/most exotic piranha to keep?

[lix.ma14]

hi guys. I'm new to this piranha keeping. I am getting a 50 gal tank and I am planning to get a good solitary piranha. What would be a good choice for me? i don't an ordinary one like a red belly or something like that. i want one with some beautiful and unique colour or shape. i have my eyes on a serrasulmas elongatas. Any other piranha species??? i am only keeping one. My budget is around 50 bucks.

thanks.

I doub't you'll find an Elong for $50.

For $50 your best bet would to pick up a baby S. rhom or small S. mac. Both cool serras. $50 really limits you when it comes to the less common serras.

rhom, and there are a lot of diff color variants out there. remember they grow relatively slowly, but will turn to real stunners once large

Up in Dover, DE they had like 6 5" piranhas in a 55 gallon tank that were $30 bucks a piece, it was really tempting lol.

- How about a Hollandi piranha?
