if i were to get a school of Red Bellied Piranhas, how many should i keep in a 55 gallon tank?
they say a 20 gallon tank is miimum but is that true, they seem they should have a bigger tank i will house them in a 55 thats if i decide to get them.
what do they mean difficult to care for? what are some specifacitions?
i was just wondering, i may get Red Bellied Piranhas for my 55 gallon and i may get smaller fish. i am not sure yet weather i want a few larger fish or alot of smaller fish. please help any info on Red Bellied Piranhas will help me out a little. thank you
