whoa how can you only feed once a week? how much do you actually feed them when you feed them 1x a week. i have 5 3" and they eat like 3x a day.. hmmmm

In the wild, piranha live in a feast or famine world. Lots of fish are grazers, but piranha are gulpers. Their stomachs are designed to gorge themselves on as much food as possible while it's available, because they don't know when they might eat again! They will do fine eating once every five days to a week until full.

Well, it's not so crazy really. For juvies maybe more often but for adults it's fine.
They can eat a lot of food at once. Especially considering the amount of exercise fish get in an aquarium, they can eat plenty in one or two feedings a week to live and grow on.
