QuestionCan you tell me what is the average tank size to keep one Black Piranha from young to adult?
Also tank size for 6 red bellied piranha is the rule of thumb for this species 30 gallons for each piranha?

AnswerHi,
Thanks for asking me a question about big fish, it rarely happen and I enjoy answering them.
Black piranha can get a solid 20". I'll list the size of the tanks that you would need for the black piranhas.
Black piranha like to school and produce lots of waste.
three 2"-8" black piranha= 75-100 gallon tank.
three 8"-16" black piranha= 100- 180 gallon tank.
three >16" black piranha= 180- 260 Gallon tank.
The stronger filter the better.
Hope that helps.
