Will red belly Piranhas bite me?

[Michael Sharkey]

I am thinking of putting a convict and four red bellies in an empty 150L
tank. Will the piranhas bite me when I'm cleaning the tank? They'll only be
about two inches long when i get them. I dont want to learn the hard way.

They are generally very shy fish when kept in small groups or as a single
fish. In the wild they live in large schools and hunt as a pack. I have
found hat when cleaning my Piranhas tank that they all rush to the opposite
end of the tank that you are cleaning. They will bite if you corner them and
the only way out is past your hand. My eight red bellies are on average 7"
and well fed on earth worms and fish strips.
