Redeye Piranha Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Redeye Piranha in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 250 gallons (946 liters) for a single adult
• Compatibility: Strictly a solitary species in captivity. Cannot be housed with other fish, including other piranhas, due to extreme aggression and cannibalism.

A secure lid is essential as they can jump. Live or frozen meaty foods are required. Water quality must be pristine.
