There are no cheap Pirayas! Well at least it seems that way to me. Oh and they get HUGE so a 75 WILL NOT work for them!
they will do ok in a 75 for awhile i would suggest 3 if ur going to try to keep them in there for life....u can get them from aquascapeonline.com or sharkaquarium.com.... both on east coast save u some dough on shipping
How long is awhile? No more then a year in a 75. Pirayas are pretty mean SOBs and three ten inchers (how long they should be in about a year) in a 75 could lead to some problems.

piraya grow at the same rate as any other pygo....depending on conditions size 6-7" at one year old.....eventually they get huge but thats any pygo rbp can reach 12"......it takes time to grow monsters 3 in a 75 would do for a good amount in my opinion
6-7" in a year?!? With the proper care and in my experience piraya can get 10" in a year...I mean a year after you get them at around 3-4". Hell my RBPs are only 9 months old and they are a solid 7 inches!
