From fry to fish....seems like over night

Seriously I wish my bank account grew as fast as my piranhas have. It’s amazing how in such little time....I’ve had them fir about a month and a half now....they’ve gone from skinny babies about the size of a nickel to beefed up and about 2.5” long.

I wish I had something to give them a sense of scale and to get the to sit still!! Lol
Sorry for all the photos....I know a lot of them look similar....

Beautiful. You must be feeding them well. 2 inches in a month and a half is fast, even for a RBP.

Thanks!
So I give them half a large shrimp in the morning, frozen blood worms in the early afternoon and the other half of the shrimp in the evening. I’m always fearful of them eating each other

Them cannibalizing each other is inevitable. Something it happens after weeks, and sometimes it happens after years. It is just their nature. How many do you have and in what size tank?
