I've got two red bellies now. They're about 6-7 in had them about two years. The sad part is I started with 4 and two disappeared. I know what you mean by the net. I had one plop on the floor and had to pick him up by hand. They are very cool looking fish when they get bigger.

Cool piranhas !! Lookin sweet but eek they eat your net!

Red's grow up to 12". The three of them will need a min. Of a 125g tank once fully grown.

That said, they are awesome fish. I used to keep a school of 12 in my 180g a few years ago. 5-7" I used to sell them and start over after the 8" mark. I do miss them and that tank.

I remember reading somewhere that in some states it's illegal to keep piranas. Right?

Thanks! He is a male Red Devil cichlid. About 5-6". And every bit the stereotype of the species. I highly recommend them as its by far the most personable fish I have ever owned.
