basically i have two snakes , a african grey parrot an a tropical fish tank ! but my birthday is fast aprouching ... and i will be seriously considering getting a little group of red belly pirannah .
just wondering are they hard to keep ?

thanks matt

I had a look into getting some once, you can keep one in a 3ft tank minimum and shouldnt keep a pair as one will become dominant and attack the other. they need low light and a very good filter. apparently normal fish eat about 4% of their bodyweight a day but piranha's will eat 40% of their bodywieght.
great fish, would love them one day but marines are next

Yea, about the tank, i think it grows with its tank size. What i mean is, it will not grow out of your small tank before you get it a bigger tank to grow in.

might be completely wrong, but i think i remembered something about this xD

best to get as big a tank you can get then have a few and just make sure there fed so the dont eat each other and u need a really good filter

Sorry, this isn't correct! A fish will get as big as he is going to get! If you put a large growing fish in a small tank, he will still get large - but will also end up growing deformed as it will not have enough space. I once saw a shark catfish whi was in a corner tank and it didn't have anywhere to swim so just sat behind the uplift tube on the under-gravel filter. His spine grew with a 90 degreeg bend in it! You should always get the biggest tank you can aford and then think to yourself - what would fit 'comfortably' in here? Please PM me for advice on any fish

you want at least a group of six in at least 100 gallons of water. Preferably bigger than a 6x2x2 tank. Big filter as they are messy eaters

i wouldn't keep one in a 3 foot, they get as big as i dinner plate. A good 6 foot one and you will be able to have a few. A 6x2x2 will cost you about 160-200 depending on where you get it from. The fish themselves are quite cheap i have seen small ones about 3 inches for a few quid.
