well, 2 start off as young, that tank mite be good for a pirahna...in a while though, u will need 2 upgrade 2 a larger tank to suit your pirahna's needs. also, pirahnas, just like many other fish depend on many different factors 2 amke them grow....here are some of them....how clean is water (excess nitrates out, ammonia out, ETC) the type of food u feed them (not only feeder-fish) and the temperture of the aquarium (warmer the tank=faster metabolism=more the food=grows quicker) don not pass around 83 degrees though, or that may b to warm for the fish and will stress out the fish....hope this helps

A tank takes 4-6 weeks to cycle.
