quite a few decent cichlids you could get that are much more fun then pirahna. I'm currently downsizing majorly. But i keep many different cichlids mostly large and aggressive but stunning to look at.

If you can provide the tank, dovii are awesome. Keeps your hands off them and away from fish that cant handle themselves and you'll be fine

Well you can hardly keep piranhas with other fish, can you?

Also, dwarf puffers are 100% freshwater. The salt would kill them.

If you have a fully cycled tank, then there should be no problem with puffers.

actually you can keep piranha with other fish. Plenty of small tetras can be kept as can other similarly small species. I've seen bass kept with piranha, as well as other cichlids, plecos, many different catfish. Things like arowana have been kept in the same tank as well.

I've had Piranha's & they are lovely fish, very hardy little fellas & nice to look at IMO. I had two which were very 'glittery' & they glowed when the light was on. The biggest I ever had was about 9", he was usually tame though. I could go in & pick up any food that wasn't eaten, clean etc... It's a bit of a myth they they're some sort of killer fish.......Unless you're a guppy!

hypselecara temporalis,chocolate cichlid.they ate hard two find put stunning looking fish.i have one in a grow out tank at the moment.

They're basically just fish with more teeth. The only potential bother is cleaning them out. I know a guy who drained the tank from the bottom some how (I've no idea how the setup worked, I didn't see it - Just heard about it)

To be realistic, However many piranhas you want, buy twice that number.
