What Fish Would Work With Piranhas?

Okay, I'm not wanting to put in other fish with piranhas. I found a great deal on a full tank set up with piranhas. So, how do I get rid of some piranhas and what plants and other fish would work in their place? Thanks!

    I had a mid size 35 gallon tank with 5 piranha. Generally they did not like any plants , which they'd tear up and destroy. As far as other fish their favourite was goldfish which did not make it past dinner time. Piranhas are not a friendly fish that get along with others and show territorial aggression in confined spaces whether as in hold fish to eat or even a common Pleco cleaner fish, that unless very big with lots of hiding spots , they will also kill just out of territorial aggression.
