Any one keep these?
what is the minimum sized tank for a pair?
How big do they get?
8-10 inch is a good sized adult
4ft for a pair
They need to be kepet some where quiet, as their very skitish fish and easily get stressed.So no loude music, and away from Door's and stuff.

To be honest, i don't think i would keep just a pair, incase things get nasty, because one might turn on the other and then you might end up with just one fish!
I saw a poster yesterday and it said this fish (which was a red bellied piranha) can grow to 35cms and would need a tank this size. It was the size of a small car
The guy in the shop told me that they are going to put these fish in their huge display tank. We saw the same setup in another branch a few years ago. The tank is big but still not big enough as he said himself.
