New baby RB's not eating?

[Juice79]

Hey guys i was hoping someone could provide some insight. I recently bought 4 baby RB's and they have stopped eating. It i important to note that these are the only 4 fish in the tank.

Day 1 - received baby rb's, acclimated them to tank. 5 hours later fed them frozen bloodworms which they loved and ate like crazy.

Day 2 - gave them frozen bloodworms again, but they did not even touch them.

Day 3 - gave them frozen bloodworms again, and again not one of them ate them?

any ideas..?..are they just full from the first day of feeding. From what i have read on here some feed theirs everyday without any issues? Thanks in advance?

There are in a 55g with a fluval 405 and an AC70...water parameters are fine...tank has been fully established for over a year with weekly water changes. Just removed the last fish the morning i put these guys in.

um...what size are they at? should be eating by now. when I bought my caribes, they were like 1" or 2" but start eating right away after I have them in the tank.
just keep trying and make sure you take out the leftover.

I'm not tryin to be an a**hole but are you sure they are piranhas and not pacus? Also what is your water temp? I have had piranhas that stopped eating after I had a heater break and went unnoticed. The temp in my tank had dropped to 68F and that was when they stopped eating.
