And then, there are people like me (and GG, though he won't admit it 
) who are collectors.
I will gladly sell one of my piranhas if something better comes along. It doesn't mean I'm a bad fish keeper. My fish are all well taken care of. If something rarer or unique comes along, I move one out to make room for the new.
I find this tougher to do with cichlids because they are so personable. They are like dogs with fins and you kind of get to know them and vice versa.
Piranhas on the other hand are, for the most part, pure motorized instinct. Not much recognition there when they see you. In fact, they are more likely to dart the opposite way. Still, I love collecting piranhas and will probably keep moving them in and out except for my 14 inch rhom wich I will never part with.
