brazil and colombia are good sources.
problem is , how do you get them shipped to your place.?
even if you can, youll need special permits and a very special aqaurium with a very specific temperature , other wise youll be better buying canned tuna fish.
They are not legal in the US to own.

Piranha Fish are illegal to import, to sell, or to own in the state of California, where our facility is located in San Diego. So we don’t have any Piranha Fish in facilities. They are also illegal in some other states in the United States.
There are many species of fish in the subfamily Serrasalminae that are all called Piranhas. Pygocentrus nattereri, the Red Belly Piranha, is the most popular Piranha fish.
Reports of Piranhas biting people in their native habitats are rare, so the danger of Piranhas is exaggerated. But Piranhas have bitten people who put their hands in an aquarium full of Piranhas. Maybe those Piranhas had been under-fed.

check to see if they are legal or the black market but don’t release wild life
