ive had them.. and to be honest they are lazy as hell apart from feeding time..lol

when they feed they make alot of mess, i would use a external fuvla/ better filter, they like still water, so an over head flow would be better than a submerged fluval as they like to just sit and wait around, nice fish, but not nice to keep clean...lol

ask on the fish forum, and someone will be able to give you more advice, i only had 3, and they grew VERY fast!...lol

Red bellies are a remarkably hardy species. At least a 75 US gallon tank is needed to house red bellies. Despite their size, you can home up to 4 specimens in a single 75 gallon tank. Frequent water changes are neccesarry. These are a shoaling fish, so keep in groups of at least 4. Provide at least 20 gallons of water per fish. These guys are huge eaters, so awesome filtration is essential. Temperatures should be stable between 75 and 85 degrees. pH should remain between 6-7.5 though slightly acidic around 6.7 is best. Often inhabits peat stained waters, so the addition of peat or blackwater extract would not do any harm, but is not vitally important. Fast flowing waters replicate natural environment. Dim lighting is appreciated. Like most piranhas, requires high oxygen levels.

NEVER feed them "feeder goldfish". goldfish are crap food, the only live food you should give them is fish that you have bred youself, like guppies etc. Feed other meaty foods like squid, earthworms, bloodworms, shrimp, and other similar food items.

Red bellies won't normally bite, but if you're not careful they can.
