Can 5 red bellies live in a 55 gallon, or is that too much?
So true. There's alot of gray areas in that theory especially with piranhas considering they are not a schooling fish in the true sense. They need room to get away from each other.Xenon said:I am with Grosse, a lot of people say it is 20g a fish regardless but I dont subscribe to that theory. You should be fine with that amount of fish in there until 6 inches or so. It will be fine for the first 6-8 months you have your fish (possibly a year).
I have two pleco's with my reds for 9 months, and they're fine (they earned their place in the tank through a number of fin nipsRAZORTEETH said:new to the piranha scene and i have a question what kind of scavenger fish can be used to keep the bottom of the tank clean without being eaten?
Agreed. I've also had success with pecos in pygo tanks.SnowCichlid said:Yes a common pleco should do just fine...works for me and other tanks i have seen
yeah but wait till your P's get bigger and/or really hungryNatural.Playboy said:my crayfish always try to eat my p's but they are too slow and sluggish to get them
