Black Rhom Piranha

[fish-r-fancy]

Hi my friend is no longer keeping fish and unfourtenetly has to give them all up. I was thinking of buying his black rhom piranha of him. What is the minimum tank size for 1, what is best to feed it, best temperature to keep it in? Is there anything that I should no about them? Thanks in advance

Does anybody have any experience with these? If I get the piranha today I will try to post pics (that is if my friend isn't busy today, hasn't been picking up the phone). I was also thinking about buying his red bellied piranhas also. How do these species prefer the tank to be decorated? Also does anybody have any good links to websites about these piranhas? I have found plenty of info on the red bellied piranha but not much on the black rhom piranha, I also would like to talk to some experienced people, like people on this forum. Also the black rhom piranha will be in a tank of his own. Thanks
