i have 1 red belly that is in a 20 gallon holding tank.
They like to be in schools, so a big tank is needed like you know.
I also have a very large black pacu that is about 24 inches in a 310.

i had 2 red belly pacus in my 125 gallon tank and had to send them to a fish store because they got so big they couldn't turn around and they would slam themselves into the walls and try to bust my tank. I'm not sure if pacus and piranhas are the same, i know they look the same.

ROFL to fivespeed.... I think even Piranha movies are illegal in FL aren't they? It's so bad you can't have a photo of a piranha. Not as bad where I am. They are illegal, but you can get a permit if you beg and pay.
Not currently I'm not. I kept and bred them some years ago.

I wish I could, but they are so illegal in Florida that I think the cops are already knocking on my door for answering this question. Gotta go!
