Piranha, small?

[Jlui83]

IS there a such thing as a small piranha? Or a fish that fits in a 10 gal tank that will eat others like a piranha?

No, there isnt a piranha that will fit in a 10 gallon for life. The minium tank for the smaller species of piranha is 75 gallons. As for something that eats fish like them a puffer or maybe some exodens although im not positive on how big the tank needs to be for exodens.

Exodons get too big for 10g too. 20g long maaaaybeee.

Any fish that is going to eat other fish the way you want them too are too big to put in a 10 gallon.

Actually, there are quite a few serras that would be able to live for life in a tank smaller than a 75g. irritan, eigenmanni and sanchezi to name a few for 55g. That's besides the point of none for a ten gallon which is true.

maybe buenos aires tet's. although you won't see them eating other fish, they atack fish food just as agressively as a pirahna would a fish IME (although I have no expierence with piranhas).
