Well, I just added my RBP's to my 180g and decided to give them a 2 silver dollars as a treat for moving. They have eaten silvers in the past so they know them as a source of food already, but after two days, they go uneaten. Now this doesn't bother me in fact if they decide not to eat silvers it gives me one more source of fish to put in the 180. At first I thought they were just getting used to the tank or upset about the move and not eating, but when I went to feed the silvers the Piranhas eat 90% of the fish flakes... I mean went to town on the stuff :D
Anyway after that I've noticed them eat my pleco's wafers too :screwy:
I figured its nothing to get worked up about, I'll try giving them some shrimp or something else they like tomorrow...
 
1 thing i have noticd with moving p's is they don't eat lives for a while i moved a 10 inch rhom last year and it took about 8 weeks for it to eat properly again... i think once they feel happy again they'll start tucking in to the live feeders .. thats what i've experinced
 
maybe the other fish are to big for you're red bellies to eat
 
I dont think there to big, I normally cut there tilapia and catfish fillet into the size the silvers are know.

Here's a pic... not the best in the world but it does so the size difference.
