I had two piranahs living together for a few months and recently bought another which is the same size. At first they got along fine but now they constantly chase each other and nip one another. Is this commom behavior or are they angry? :%)

thats what we really need to know before answering ur ques. if these are rather small say 2in. or less then it would be rather normal behavior, now that a new member is in the shoal they have to reorganize the hierarchy. plus juvi. piranha are quite nippy with their shoal mates anyway. im hopin u have them in a 55g. at least cause theyre gonna need the room.
