I have two tiger oscars one is 4" and other is 3" and 6.5" crawdad. I've been reading and see oscars and piranhas don't always get along, but I am only looking at one 3" or smaller red belly piranha. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Oscars and piranhas dont particularly match up very well. But It certainly can be done. Ive seen 5 full grown RBP's with a full grown oscar living well together in a large tank. It depends on the fish. Some are more agressive than others. You might do alright as long as you have a large aquarium,(120-150 gallons).

The only postings here that I have seen. Have been about 4-5 piranhas and one oscar. I was wondering if the two oscars would keep the smaller piranha in line?

If the piranha is too small the oscars will kill it. Oscars will eat whatever they can fit in their mouths.

It worked! For about 8hrs now a 2.5" piranha is doing great with two 4" oscars. The only problem is the piranha swam into the 6.5" crawdads claws for a second. I will keep everyone posted who was worried

That crawdad could do some serious damage to that piranha... keep a close eye on them...
