Certain Piranha you can, but it is in general you cant. The bigger P's dont bother chasing the smaller fish as its pointless wasting the energy for such a small meal! Mine is going to be a community tank aswell as have that big Piranha.

I only want a simple yes or no answer to whether they will bite you if you put your hand in the tank

there isnt really a yes or no answer.

You can get some that are crazy and will attack anything and have seen pics of people who have had their hands bitten. But most of them wouldnt bother unless you started to go towards them and they would probably try to defend themselves.

Decent tank size, good filtration and a REGULAR feeding routine will stop them attacking and killing each other and Piranha's like red bellies (and other shoal species) will grow to over 10" from 1-2" in a few years.

But if you dont keep ontop of feedings they will just turn around and kill off the weakest in the group...some just go physco and do that anyway!!
