I have one red belly pirnaha now in a 30 gallon tank. he's a little over 4 inches now and I want to get another. is it possiable to introduce one now? and if so, should the new piranha be bigger, smaller, or around the same size? I don't have much cover right now but I plan on getting alot more before getting another piranha anyway. hope someone can help me with this. thanks!

The larger the tank and the more covering you have the better your chances are of getting away with it.

Your tank only being 30 gal. I would say that if you do get away with it your going to need a larger tank soon.

If you add another be sure to keep up with water changes on a regular basis intil you upgrade to a larger tank.

In my experiance the existing fish is going to be the territorial one of the bunch so the newbie should be at least his/her size.

thanks, I don't plan on having piranhas for a long time. I'm just going to have them untill they get to about 6 or 7 inches because one of my friends is opening a pet store soon and he wants them. do you think I'll need a bigger tank for them?
