Wow , Ill have to go with everyone else. That fish looks alot bigger then you say. Eitherway, I wish you the best with them.

Don't be alarmed if they aren't taking food right away. Especially if you're offering something they're not used too (which I'm assuming you are).
Personally, I would of waited a few days before offering any food or light above the tank for that matter but thats how I do things.
Every second or third day keep offering the prepared foods, removing after an hour or so. Keep at it, they will take it eventually.

Very nice piranha. Give them plenty of room and feed them well. Also, keep the tank clean. That is one tip for healthy piranha.

I'm not trying to badmouth your table but remember that the tank isn't a lightweight.

Keep an eye out on it.

for all the mistreatment they recieved before you got them,they look to be in pretty good shape. although they are unlikely to grow more than an inch or so. but whats wrong with a 7 inch piranha? enjoy them.they are nice .

Did dude just imply they max out at 7 inches? Second time i've seen someone say that this week
