No, those are the main states that real piranhas are illegal. Most likely legal in 49 states

they're parasitic scale eaters. It's recommended that you keep them solo as adults.

WIMPEL PIRANHA - Scale-eater; May be kept in a small group when juvenile. Adults should be kept as individual species in home aquarium. Their other requirements includes soft, acid water; pH 5.8 to 6.2 and water temperature of 76F to 78F. A small aquarium of at least 20 gallons for one specimen should be sufficient. They require heavy planting, and soft flow of water.
