Hi Dawn! I'm always amazed at how much he can eat at one time.

That reminds me of my armatus.I used to give it pinky mice as an occasional treat. I know it's not the best thing to feed characins but I didn't do it anywhere near often enough for it to create a problem.

It won't harm them if you only do it once in a while, I've noticed a growth spurt every time I feed like this.

My 18 inch piraya piranha "Big Moby" eats five frozen thawed out mice right after I fed him a dozen or more large cichlid pellets, I don't know where he puts them, he sure can eat, I hope you all like the video!
What a specimen

Wow! Never thought I'd see personality like that in a piranha! Not that I know much about them but usually hear stories of how boreing they are lol. This guy is damn cute wiggling away all excited for his master to feed him :)
