3 rb piranhas in 65 gallon

[Rayfinkle]

I know it's not ideal but would a 65 gallon (36x18x24) be able to house 3 rb piranhas for life? I was given them short notice and they're about 2.5". I have 2 canister filters on the tank now. What's the best way to setup a tank like this? I have driftwood and I built caves out of rocks which they don't seem that interested in. I want to add a powerhead but not sure how strong it should be.

Red bellies can get to be a foot or more long. You will likely need to upsize your tank in a year or so. to house them for life, a 120 or bigger would be in order.

Just about everything I've read has said maybe 7-8" in captivity I thought

Wrong.
