"In the aquarium, a most unnatural environment for piranhas, especially large ones, the fish can grow almost infinitely in size solely because of 1) food availability 2) care 3) no active predators of piranha available."

this mans rbp obviously have been fed huge quanity's of food, over a long period of time. and with the correct size tank (how big is it btw) that size may be possible. but how likely is it?

Believe his Piranha are around the 3 to 4 year old mark---Not too long of a time....Raised them from babies also if my memory serves me right....
Diet is most salmon(which is not the greatest diet by ne means)

there it is, salmon is a fatty fish, and is no mean a good fish food, there obviously going to gain alot of weight with that. and they are by no means heathy fish than. waiting on pics.

that's fine, but healthy normal p's. over 9-10"
 
also how many times turnover an hour for filteration i have an ehiem professional 2026 and a ehiem classic 2213 is this enough
 
depending on what types of filter media you have loaded in there, those filters should be sufficient, more is always better. people usually try to turn over 10x their tank volume per hour, but with good quality canisters, you should be fine with 3-4x turnover, especially with young piranhas.
