I have a new filter on the way for my secondary tank and that means I can finally start thinking about what to put in it!
Filtration will not be an issue, let me say that now, despite this being only a 75L. I'm interested in really quite aggressive fish, the meaner the better. (I've sort of lost interest in having the pretty little guppies and other sweet community fish.) Whilst I dream of owning an oscar and know that that is just not feasible, I'm drawn more and more to piranhas. My family has owned them before, though my mother cannot remember what sort exactly.
The sort most readily available here is the red bellied, having done a bit of research, I think just one of these guys would be good for a long time, with a view to getting a slightly larger tank at a much later date if needed? One of the shops tried to convince me I'd be fine with a shoal but I'm well aware I CANNOT take home a group of them, no matter how small they are at the moment.
So... thoughts? Is this still an incredibly dumb idea?
