im no expert on piranhas but if they are anything like oscars or red devils you could try puting in a few of those litte chineese algae eaters in your tank. I have had a tank with a mix of big fish and the algae eaters seem to work well as long as you have a bunch of nook and crannies that they can escape to. The algae eaters were always to fast for the other fish to catch so the big fish just stuck to eating the goldfish. although once and a while I would have to restock the tank with algae eaters but they are a heck of alot less expensive then plecos.you could always try that.

Yeah i guess so cause the african cichlids are quick but they seem to work well with oscars cause they are not that fast, more clumsy if anything. but yeah if piranhas are fast dont bother with algae eaters IP: Logged |
