Questionable Piranha Tank-mates

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have one Pleco and two armoured Cat fish in with my RBPs. I also have a dozen Zebra Danios. A few come up missing from time to time. The Pleco and the Cat fish have lots of plants and wood to hide in and amongst.
 
Im in the midst of upgrading to a 75 gallon tank...Currently have 3 RBP's around 5-6 inches. Might add 1 or 2 more to them who knows. I plan on adding wood and thick plants in there for catfish im thinking of adding. What are some good catfish to add inthere? Would pictus work?

Hi guys.I'm from South Africa and keeping Piranha here is illegal without a license but I wanted to try and get some-speeding is illegal too and I do it all the time.My question: Can I keep piranha with Zambezi Sharks?
 
Tried large crawdads and the longest living one was about 3 wks:( I feed mine every day and they still attack live stuff:(
 
good info. i have a RBP and wanted to find a tankmate for it. so i already had an oscar and a jack in my tank so i decided to try adding the piranha. and to my surprise they get along great. they chase eachother around for a second and then go about thier business. so this is one trail and error that worked out in my favor. so i have had luck with the jack and oscar with a piranha.

Just curious...how big are they? And how long have they been together?
 
I had a 6" red belly and about 4 oscars of about the same size and my P managed to kill them all over the period of a little less than two months. He also managed to kill two pacus i had that were only about 3 inches though so i figured that.
