None more so than the goldfish. They are both in the carp family, hence minnows carry the same problems as goldfish do.
Guppies are by far the best out of those three. How big are your piranhas mr36st?

there about quator size, and always hungery, i feed them a lot of differnt things from frozen premade cubes, to dried, krill and blood worms, i was just at lfs and saw he had a tub af minnows, didnt see any dead ones and , the water looked clean, so i bought 5, for my 9, p's in my 100 gallon, as soon as i put them in , my ps went after them, they caught one and when i went to pull the minnow out all that was left was a spine and a skull with no eyes!, after that my p's started going crazy, chasing each other chasing the 4 other minnows, tail nippin and bitting between the ranks, so to try to break up the crazyness, i threw a frozen cube of brine shrimp, (there favorite) usually thats for breakfast, but , needed to calm thangs down, they went for the cube and stoped fighting, there bellies were so full all they did is just swim in place, but still acting aggressive.. piranhas are a handfull, but i love em ther my lil killers, i wonder how many minnows will be (whole) in the morning??
Wow they have a great and varied diet! Good stuff buddy.
The initial addition of the minnows probably caused loads of aggression as the piranhas got into hunting mode. I recon you should go with guppies, although the minnows look as if they were kept in good conditions, the piranhas will get much more out of the guppies. If you got a spare 10 or 20 gallon handy, breed your own and gut-load them. The reason I asked size was as the piranhas get bigger they lose interest in smaller feeders, but yours are perfect size for guppies.
You'll have to take some pictures for us next feeding session
