I just received for 3 days now a small 4 inches black piranha and he is not eating. I tried earthworms, tilapia filet, shrimps, and i just add in his tank 10 small guppy. He is looking very good nico colorations , no sickness. Any ideeas about feeding him. How too make him start eating?

Thanks
 
have you tried to turn off the light and leave the room? it'll take time for them get start eating those dead food, but usually those guppies will disappear over night.
what's your water parameter and temperature?
post pic of your tank and that rhom.
 
Give it a week without offering food, then try again. Just skiddish and stressed from the move. They can live a lot longer than a week without food so don't worry, just give it time to settle.
