I've seen about 3 red belly piranha's in a 55 gal tank before n is that enough space for them as i may too

Question

ive seen about 3 red belly Parana's in a 55 gal tank before n is that enough space for them because i may do the same and how many can i keep in a 33 gallon tank?

Answer 1

1 adult red belly needs 29 gallons of water alone with weekly water changes and good filter.

1 red for a 33gallon

you might be able to keep 3 reds in a 55 gallon but this will really depend more on how you care for them and what equipment you use and how and what you feed them..

but your luck in a 55gallon will be short lived because they will eat one another and adult fish are about 12 inches. the lack off room will result in fights over space .

Answer 2

55 gallons is not enough, and piranhas live in bigger shoals. A 33 gallon cannot house one piranha seeing they LIVE in SHOALS.

Answer 3
