Ehh, its been about 3 days, we're due for this question...the answer is no piranha you need a much bigger tank to house any kind of piranha, dont try it.

[furious piranha]

alrite...im just gonna look around on the site to see what u ppl say i should put in it...mayb ill just use it as a feeder tank

[lemmywinks]

wow... I can see why the Non-Piranha Scientific Discussion section would be the best place to post this

and why just keep piranhas? there are plenty of smaller "agressive" fish out there

[furious piranha]

yo..my bad i didnt realize i was in this section...im still gettin used to the site

Its cool

But you will need a much larger tank to put a p in

I, for one, am getting a little tired of seeing this question over and over again. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON and type in "meanest" or "most aggressive."

I'm not venting at you, maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Sorry.

The most agressive piranha doesn't exist - period.
Also, for a longer period of time a 20g tank is too small for any piranha: only babies could be kept in there temporarily.

I strongly advice you to do some thorough research before buying a fish: otherwise, you will more likely than not end up disappointed, as your fish won't ever be able to live up to your expectations: fish don't give a damn about what you expect from them
Good starting points are the General Piranha Discussion and the Info Section (hit the "Information"-button below the top banner...)

You will be fine housing a smaller Serrasalmus for life in your 20 gallon, like an altuvei or an irritans.
Any of the other species will be fine 'til they get too big, and as they grow about an inch per year, you can get away with any young Serras for quite some time in a 20 gallon.

I think its time people have a reference at OPEFE for this type of reoccuring questions. Feel free to cite.

Good one Frank.

Reminds me of the time when I was netting a Pygo and flashed back to my 'Pre-piranha days' and instinctively started to put my free hand under the net to support the fish.

Luckily I 'Flashed forward' to reality before I actually did it...

Well, I succeeded in catching mine after it bit through the net. Left me with a nice circular bite that required 3 stitches. It was my first AND MY LAST BITE.

I know a few people that have fed their piranha 'Finger food!'

Copy and paste from our FAQ:

Author: mr. freez

It all depends on the fishes individual personality, there
is no "most aggressive species".

That is absolutly fan F&*%ingtastic great job frank keep it up
later

the most agressive piranha you can get for a 20 is a dwarf piranha if they ever become available or discovered. other than that, 20 gallons is about big enough to house a young piranha at best OR a feeder quarentine tank

and btw, if your seriously buying a pirnaha to get the "most agressive" one, ...dont. just buy a few snails or something easy to keep until you get more educated with keeping fish.

Good luck with the size of that tank
