Awesome tank, BUT... How do neons(Paracheirodon axelrodi)and others too, live along, or whats more precisely- how do they survive living together with 35 piranhas??? its rare you can see predators and their potential prey(both fish)in the same tank, so im really curious about this choice. maybe the your goal was to create natural- "strongest survives" type fish tank environment? if so, then zoo staff must be always busy with adding neons to tank ;)))))
Otherways its no doubt fantastic, splendid tank, great job!

Only one example: Take a look at the ocean. Are eating a Great White Shark a small fish like a "Nemo" ? Normaly not because they are too small for the White Shark...this is like in this tank happend.

Wow, just WOW! that's the nicest piranha tank i have ever seen. Well done! I have 5 caribas at home in a 400 liter tank. It has just been dwarfed by this set-up. I enjoyed the pictures too, very nice! Maybe try and have some kind of piraya/cariba/naterreri mix? that would be realy nice.

Good idea :-) a Piranha Mix!

Best regards, Oliver Knott
