So the Albino Oscar and me just got through a really tough time in our relationship. His name is Clancy and he was going through a hard time for a while, deppression. Today it seems he snapped out of it and is starting to eat again.
The Dempsey doesnt know when to learn, the Piranha just doesn't like him.
The Piranha is a jerk.

The piranha only gets bitey with the Jack Dempsey. At first he didnt like Clancy but their cool now.
When the Piranha is eating though he is rowdy and gets it on with the Jack Dempsey. Hopefully he cant kill a fish named after one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Why are you keeping 3 extremely aggressive fish together? Oscars will kill any fish they can, and all 3 fish you have are extremely aggressive! I am guessing you probably don't have the 150 gallon tank you would need to house these fish properly. And in the likely case that your tank is smaller than 150 gallons, you are stunting your fish wich will lead to a very early death. Here are each fish's adult measurements:
Oscar= 18 inches of crapping machine
Jack Dempsey= 10 inches
Piranha=12+ inches
Your Piranha is probably becoming aggressive because it doesn't feel safe. Piranhas prefer shady, well planted tanks, and I bet your tank has very few floating plants, am I right?

oscar n jack dempsey r aggressive but piranha is a killer. piranha is known to kill even its own species for food althou it hunts in pack. so i will recommend removing your piranha from the tank. the other 2 will fight but as long as they are used to each other there wont be any problem but do continue to observe them just in case. of cuz ultimately the best solution is to put all 3 in different tanks but that will mean u will have to get 2 more tanks. not very feasible too so for now just remove the piranha.. its a killer! cheeros =)

relies upon on the piranha. despite if this is a education piranha like a redbelly or a black rhombus, then they are going to be superb. despite if this is a solitary hunter piranha, then your different fish are lifeless.

I think the piranha will really have a good meal if it gets too agressive...
