Piranha Diet

[sumohustler]

I was wondering what to RBP's eat. i feed it some food but it only really eats live feeders(goldfish). i also want to know how to make it so it eats in front of me and so that it wont be as shy. i was also wonderin how much they are. because i got them for free but i want to buy more. ONE MORE QUESITON! WHAT IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE FISH i can buy in california. illegal/legal

k thanks!

Ps are not legal in california. a good foods to feed Ps are shrimp, scallops, talapia, catfish, haddock, smelt white fish meat is best. also pellets are very good food. feeders are bad. they carry parasites and diseases. to get them to eat in front of you all you have to do is train it. offer food at different times of the day drop it in and wait for it to eat. if it doesnt eat after 20-30 min take the food out. don't worry about your fish starving. they can go for weeks with out food and it wont starve itself to death. eventually your P will eat in front of you just takes patience.

how many piranhas do you have?

pdsmith is right. Those are good foods to feed it and yes, P's are illegal in cali.

As for most aggressive, probably a dorado, papyrocranus afer, or some rift lake cichlid. I don't know if a dorado or the knife fish is legal though.
