Like which fillets are good for piranhas? Example: tilapias, Swai, walleyes, catfish, trouts or tuna. What if I used the fillets from the fish I caught during fishing? Such as sunfish, bass, walleyes, pikes and roughfish to feed piranhas or its a no-no?
usually white fish fillet are good, red fish such as salmon, trouts, etc are too oily. feed once in a blue moon is ok but not as stable diet.
you can use the fish you caught but you need to make sure it doesn't have parasites, usually freeze them in the freezer for an extended period of time would do but I have seen sunfish with black ick in the flesh so you have to be careful.

What if I used roughfish fillets to feeding piranhas? By roughfish, I mean suckers, dogfish, gars, drum, bullheads, carps, whitefish and eelpout?
You don't want to feed anything that contains thiaminase or at least as little thiaminase as possible.
