This is a myth. It is perfectly fine to stick your entire arm in a piranha tank, I do it just about everyday in all 5 of my piranha tanks. They usually hide behind the plants or swim the other way, they're very skittish when hands are placed in the aquarium. But if your bleeding that's a much different story...

There quite a few Serrasalmus species available to live in a 75+ Uk gallon tank.
A good site to visit would be Piranha forum he we have some top people who can give you some great advice as between us all we have got many different spieces ranging from Pygopritis denticulas, Pygo. caribe to Serrasalmus Rhombous, Geryi and Branti.
Will be able to offer you some great ideas other than the RBP.




MODS: I have linked to a spieces forum which I beleve from reading rules and threads about the subject is ok?

man i have 4 reds in a 75 u should be fine doin that u can stick ur arm in as long as u keep them well fed it is also better to put them somewhere so they will get used to u being around that way when u do water changes they will not get as frightend and stir up wat ur trying to clean
