i have 10 piranhas in my 75 gallon tank. all of them are 4-5 inches already and i've kept them for about a month now. now, they're starting to bite each other that leaves missing spots on their fins. is it possible for them to avoid doing this if i feed them a lot or is it really unavoidable? thnks
 
you need a 120 gallon at least for 10 of them right now, keeping 10 in a 75 is way to much, they are fighting becauyse they're cramped

at least how many can i store in this 75 gallon tank?

Different people will give different answers

4-5 will be OK in the 75g tanks. They will still nip at each other from time to time.

Give them places to hide, keep them well fed, and keep the tank well filtered and you should be fine
 
too many in a 75G. they need more room. i agree at that size 4 to 5 would be better. but as they grow you will most likely run into the same problem.
