Thanks everybody,,

I feed them Shrimps, cod, pellets, flake food, and mussels do you have some tips on what more to give them?

I'm really glad i bought them very interesting fish and its great to have a great forum if there will be some problems later on.
diet sounds great to me. Eventualy they will get too large for flakes though and you'll have to feed them larger pellets.


nice looking piranhas hope you enjoy them, good luck

welcome to the world of piranhas and welcome to MFK.
 
clean set up, tastefully done.
 
Thanks again :D

Whats the normal growth rate on RBP and how often do you feed 4" P`s
When a had and breed discus i made 100% water changes/day and gave them food about 5-7 times/day and i cleaned all the tanks every day.

I don't think P`s are as sensitive so maybe if i feed them 3 times a day and makes 50% water changes every other day would that be ok??
I can say that we have very good tap water here in sweden so that isent a problem.
 
If you use to doing water changes for your discus, then your rbp are very lucky to have you as an owner. twice a week should do but if you have a habit, then 3x a week would be great.
 
More entertaining n just as pretty as discus I think anyhow. Plus they have teeth! Lol. Looks like your off to great start! I feed a couple times a day. Some feed once a day. Some every other day.guess it really depends what n how much your feeding.you get to know your fish quick.

I agree :D i will try to feed them at least 3 times a day and see how much they will grow, i can make some monthly update with pictures.
