None, your tank is just too small for piranhas. 20 gallons is recommended PER FISH, and piranhas are schoolers, so a 50 gallon would be the minimum for a school of 3 or so, and they will need a larger tank in the future.
You might want to consider something like a dwarf gourami for your 15 gallon tank. They have a similar body shape to pirahnas. Or, if you want something special, a pair of apistogramma cichlids.

Get a 50 gallon tank for each pirahna that you want to keep.Check to see if they are legal to have in your state and ,if so, then get a good book about them and read it a couple of times,things like water quality are important, as is pH and water hardness. To keep several of these fish in one tank would require a very large one. Pirahna(most species) in the wild, eat the fins of other fish,other pirahna included, it's only when they get trapped in the back water lakes in the Amazon Basin that they resort to other tactics. They are not really a beginners fish,mainly because of their dietary needs. Hope this helps.PeeTee

sorry to tell ya. but no piranha is good for that size tank. you'll need a bigger tank and you should house more than one together.
