how big does the piranha get? might need a bigger tank huh?

For the piranha 5-6 inches max for first year. Then an inch or so a year after that if its a rhom. If it's a sanchezi, it will top out at ~6 inches give or take.
 
I would have to put up a divider and it might be cramped.

Serra (rhombeus, sanchezi, mac, etc.) piranhas generally can only be kept solo. Pygos (red belly, cariba, piraya) piranhas can be kept in shoals.
