dude, his post said he didn't know
I have been in the fish keeping hobby for many years and sometimes things happen, for examply, simply adding a jack dempsey female to my tank with my male caused them to spawn and they killed an oscar larger than them that had been there a long time....things happen
anyways...boids, you'll find that a "pack" of pirhanas will be happier than a solo one...I'd recommend acquiring the tank asap and then the other pirhanas asap as well (after the tank, of course)...only bad thing about pirhanas is that they like a less lit tank than most fish so it always looks kind of dark, bu tI like that sort of look

Fish are funny like that... many species get along quite well and people have been keeping seemingly 'bad' combinations together for decades. And to be honest i'm sorta surprised that it was the pirhana eating the oscar instead of the other way around 
Anyhow, I don't have the space for huge fishtanks so I keep Tetras for the most part. In fact the only reason I commented on the potential size of the fish is that many people aren't told how big they're going to get nor what the space requirements are... Oscars seem to be the Green Iguanas of the fish world unfortunately.
Good luck with your Pirhana though! Very cool fish...
Edit: Totally forgot about allthingsaquatic.com D'oh.
Nice to see it's grown a lot from when I first checked it out though!

Hey Latazo how many would be good in a nice 55 setup? I was thinking 3 or 4 for a year or two would be good.

2 pirannah would outgrow the 55 in about 8-10 months I'd say. They grow really fast!!! and if you want them to stay looking cool you want to make sure they have there larger tank soon. Otherwise if they don't they will start to get deformed.

I had a 1' 3" Clown Knife with a regected gold fish for about 3 months. Then my heater died along with the knife.
Is the rhino a Cyclura or the rhino ssp of Iguana?

boids they have very interesting behavior when given the space to have more of them...I think you'll find that you'll end up spending more money and time if you keep slowly upgrading, i.e. from 10 to 55 to 125 to 220, etc...if you're around a large city there's no reason you can't find a used 125 for $250 or less...I get mine from Minneapolis for dirt cheap when I"m in the market

A few years ago I 'babysat' my neighbour's son's pihanha while he was away at college. There were 3 of them and each was larger than my hand. A 6" plecostomas lived with them as well. I couldn't believe it one day when I came home to find they had eaten the plecostomas!! Just his head remained. These same fish had lived together for several years. Go figure.

Probably, but I will eventually find use for the 55, 125, etc etc.
