I have a 20g tank with one 3" Gold Piranha. The tank has a 20g filter, should i get a larger filter.

confusing post.What is a gold pirhana and what do you mean by "long filter".If you mean a bigger filter then no,it will do with only one 3 " fish.Can you post a pic of this fish or a link to an image of one?

I'm assuming that it is "Gold Piranha - Serrasalmus spilopleura".

At 3 inches if it's alone you would have enough filtration.

Assuming it IS Serrasalmus spilopleura, I would advise upgrading that tank as well.

At 3" your tank is fine for now.You will need a much larger tank and filtration soon though.
They do not stay small if this is your fish.

What specific filter do you have?

The post is kind of like saying "I have a car is it a good one?" :ssmile:
