feeder goldfish vs pinkies

[arowana man]

whats a better treat for my pirahna. goldfish or frozen (thawed) pinkies. witch has better nutritional value??

I'd go with feeders after a quarantine period. Pinkies have mammalian fat and proteins that your piranha may not be able to digest.

I've heard nothing but bad press on goldfish. No idea on mice.

Goldfish quarantined for a month.

Our human body temperate can easily process animal fat, but a fish can not as thier body temp is the same as that of the water. I would think that goldfish are much better for them anyway as you dont really want pinky livers, hearts and intestines floating about in the water.

pinkies are nutritionally superior to goldfish tenfold.

what do you think they eat in the wild?

a large school can devour an adult capybara in a minute!

they are very much capable of digesting mammalian meat.

those are the best parts (add the stomach), those organ are the most nutritious.

Perhaps, but in my tank I'd rather feed goldfish and have scales around the joint and sink to the bottom as opposed to floating fur clogging up the filters.

pinkies dont have fur.
