Would these fish work out together?

My cousin has a 350 GALLON tank. He has 10 Red-Bellied Piranhas (Pygocentrus Nattereri). Most of them are 12". Two are 11". The rest are all 12". Anyway, he also has a 23" Dovii (Parachromis Dovii). He is thinking of letting the Dovii live with the piranhas. Can they be together? What would happen?

    My first thought was the Dovii will get eaten. I'm not an expert on piranhas, though. I'm not sure if piranhas and Dovii would work together, but I researched some other species that might. These species are Black Pacu, Red Belly Pacu, and Glowlight Tetras. If there are other species of fish with the piranhas, make sure your cousin never forgets to feed them or the piranhas may resort to eating the other fish.

    Nope, dovii would not be able to defend himself. He would get attacked just like piranhas eat normal live food.
