New Piranha fan

Hey there
New to the forum and to the hobby, for now I’m just a “regular” aquarium owner but in the future I’m hoping to get into piranha, for which I am doing lot of research.
Not sure of which species though.
well, hello everyone !

Welcome to the forum!
Which piranha you want depends on tank size and what you want out of it.
If you want the classic shoaling piranhas, you can’t go wrong with red bellies. Caribes also work, ternetzi are a bit harder to come by. Piraya get much larger so would need a bigger tank.
If you want a solo piranha, any of the serrasalmus are good options. The classic is the rhom, but they are one of the biggest and need a large tank. For a smaller tank, sanchezi can work.

Thanks everyone !
Yes I’m more into Serrasalmus, will check all the tank size requirements and decide which type. I kind of feel like most of them have monster fish tank requirements and I want have enough room for a tank that size
