I would say not many, "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The fish is not capable of being shoaled in most instances.

i'd be willing to try it. . . . . . . would hate to loose fish to. . . .
 
I would adise only one but 3-5 in a well planted 55g, they ad is misleading though, they can reach 6" long. They tend to be hard to find and that is a great price, I have usually seen them at $35-$40 each
 
Wimple Piranha 2" (Catoprion mento) (fwf piranha pris wimple)


Just in, I haven't had these in over a year. Nice looking piranha that stays small and is able to school with each other.
Special 5 for 100.00 < thats good price i think
