I have some Columbian Red Fins which are a shoaling fish who only get to about 2.5" who act like mini-Piranhas. They have a similar mouth in miniature form and dart on anything that slightly resembles food floating in the tank. Really funny fish.

Real Piranhas need a minimum of 400L tank I believe.

This is the most aggressive type and they need 75 gallons.

Aggressive fish don't appeal to me.

One word. Exodons. Will require about a 150L tank for a small school.

i think the yellow and the black bellied pirahnas are more dangeous and agressive.. but i just like the fact that everyone is scared of them and they such small bu powerfull fish for their size...

else thats small and agressive?

hahah they are realy cool lol... likin it..

how do they get on with other fish... how many to keep minimum.. are they ok for my tank and what do they eat.. thanks

 

[WILDER]

60 litre tank no good for pirahnas.
All you can keep in it is small fish like tetra's, corys, and livebeares.

 

[OzeN]

ohhh yer already knew that i cant have pirahnas but just wondering what other alternatives are out there.. these Exodons seem realy cool but been reading aout them quickly and apraently they dont get on with other fish... this true ?

 

[SharonCC]

That was really NEAT!!! Exodons...I must google those...

 

[OzeN]

how many of them can i keep in a 60L and what fish can i mix them with

 

[ChilliPepper]

You can't keep any Exodons in a 60L, it isn't big enough
