It depends on the type that you want. Some get bigger than others

 

[Dwarfs]

There are red belly pacu that don't get over 8", and brown pacu that get to over 2 feet, just to give you an idea on size difference

I mean Brown Pacu and Red Belly Pirahna.

well, seeing as brown pacus can easily exceed 2 feet--probably 1000 gallons. a school of 5~7 red belly piranhas will need at least 120 g.

--EDIT--
that's 120g by themselves too.

A very loose guide for Red bellys is 20 Gallons per fish.
Though in a 200g IMO 7-8 would be max id put in, not 10 as the rule would suggest. The idea of a guide is just that, its then for the individual to "fine tune" as every set up is going to differ slightly and every Piranha has its own "personality" (behavour/tolarance factor)
Although in my 180g(uk) i have just 2 rbp and 1 large toothd piranha.
