Anyone know where I can get some Uaru and African Blockheads? They are both in the Cichlid family.

I literally have more mollies than i can feed to the oscar. The piranha won't eat them. I put 10 mollies in there when they were a few weeks old, and now they've been in there for 2 months and not one of them has been touched.

Give them to aircooled, I'm sure that fat @ss cat can use a snack, or two.

I had a 2 piranhas years ago... the store was out of feeder goldfish, so I got large feeder guppies. 2 piranhas, 150 guppies in one tank. A week later, 2 piranhas and 150 guppies. Then, suddenly, one of the piranhas was gone... mostly. 1 piranha, a few pieces of a 2nd, and 150 guppies. I said "screw you" and refused to buy goldfish. Then, another week or so later, he ate all of the guppies within a day or two.

Just tell your piranha, "you want to eat? You'll eat what I feed you, dammit."
It's good practice for when you have kids and they want pizza every night.

Well I have kids and already know the trick, but these piranha will eat themselves before they eat these mollies, and i'm not about to let this much money and time go to waste. They eat goldfish and minnows no prob.

I just set up a 65 gallon tank myself, and I'm trying to decide what to put in it. Probably just going to set up a general comunity tank. I'd love to set up a (seperate, obviously) African Cichlid tank someday, but not now.

Do you guys have a reef aquarium or is it fish only?

I've always wanted to start up a fish tank. Maybe someday!

A word of advice, though it may sound counter-intuitive: start with the biggest tank you can afford - not one of those 10g "starter kits". The set-up may be a bit more work, but they're easier to keep than smaller tanks, believe it or not.
