Which piranha to get?

[ironmunki]

Tired of looking at the tiger barbs in the upstairs 30g tank and i'm thinking of getting a solo piranha for it. I've narrowed it down to a Serrasalmus Sanchezi (red or purple spilo) or a Serrasalmus Spilopluera (gold piranha?).

Just looking to get some advice/opinions from people who have experience in keeping these fish. I'd like a pirahna thats both aggressive and somewhat active.

thanks.

Sanchezis is great choice for 30gallon. your other best bet are Irritan which is the smallest piranha and can be in 30gallon for a very long time. 55gallon for life IMO.

I like the purple sanchezis myself...matter of fact, I'm supposed to be going to OH one of these weekends to pick up one from Demjor. I don't remember how active he said they were though....or aggressive. ><

Marginatus could also live in a smaller tank for life but it would be better off in a 55
