Great. If he will eat the tilapia, try some raw shrimp and some earthworms. I fashioned a hook out of a paperclip, and another that hangs from the rim of my tank. The two are attached via some fishing line. I hang the food 7"-8" into the tank and the piranha can feed at his leisure. After an hour or so, I pull it back out and flush any remains.

right now he only feeds from the bottom,but he is learning that I am his food sorouce and comes out of his cave when I approach his tank
Mine tends to charge out and give me the stinkeye when I approach the tank. Hence his name, "Prince Charmless".
I never once fed my Rhom live once I got him. He was 1.5” and I cut up little peices of shrimp and then soaked them in seachem Garlic extract. It took a week for him to start eating them. When he got to about 2.5” I started trying pellets. I broke up Massoviour delights into 3rds and soaked them in garlic extract so it had somewhat the same sent as the shrimp. After about 2 weeks of him not eating it. He was starved enough that he started eating them. I’ve had him for 2 years now and hes been eating pellets ever since. He still wont eat infront of me but he eats haha.
yeah I was misinformed about feeding him danios(not knowing they were not good for him) so I got did of the danios and threw in some tiny pieces of tilapia and he took it right away I'm going to try raw shrimp next.
