you hava somewhere around a 40-50 gallon tank, I suggest 3 red bellied piranha's, the lady above has no clue what she is talking about, piranha's are shoaaling fish, if you want real answers go to www.monsterfishkeepers.com

It's about 37 gallons. 1 piranha can grow to about 1 foot long, so you can have 2 piranhas in there, maybe 3.

It may not be an issue, but I'd make sure you have piranha if you aren't that familiar with them. Aren't a lot of pacus being sold as piranha these days *grrrr*? Pacus are cousins of them and can grow to be 3 feet long.

That's only a 37 gallon.
I would say, no.
It's not big enough for a Red Bellied Piranha.
They grow to 1 foot, and that's far too small.

this site should sort you out for volume, weight etc,
depends on how many you want to keep, but given that they grow 6/8inch it would be a tight squeeze, the larger the tank the better, remembering that they re also messy eaters and you have to over filter. .
I've not kept them for about 30years but the first few times of putting your hands in to clean up can be unnerving haha.

L x W x H. so.... 48 x 12 x 15 = 8640. 8640 / 231 = 37.4 gallons. yes you can have RBPs. You can have about 3 RBPs.

You could keep up to 190cms body length of fish and as they grow to about 30cms then three would be the maximum!
They are not the cleanest of fish though or the nicest to feed and need a good oversized filter preferably an external model. (I personally think they are ugly but each to his own)

Yeah, it's well-qualified. I don't think putting more than one pirahna in the tank is a keen idea, as they are aggressive.
