Basa fillet?

[m_class2g]

Has anyone fed basa fillet to their piranhas? Any input?

I do.

My reds like it just fine. Then again, they like everything I feed them...LOL

it's a catfish right? it'll be fine.

Yes, Basa is a Vietnamese catfish. I'm unsure of it's nutrient profile compared to other types of fish.

My buddy used to feed his fish basa fillet. And he said it's very oily. Not good for long term feeding!

It sucks! Smushy and falls apart easily. I rather stick with tilapia fillet

Ya flakes in the water and gets everywhere. Tilapia is denser and holds together better. Basa and swai are usually a pagnasious (spelling) catfish so related to id sharks and paroon.

Agreed on the flaky flesh getting everywhere and making a mess in the tank. ..and as far as for human consumption it does not taste as good as regular supermarket catfish.

Thank you everyone for your input. I will stop feeding base and go with tilapia or even squid.
