Yeah, oscars would probably make good food for them. Relatively cheap, generally fairly well taken care of (at least compared to feeders), and don't have high levels of thiaminase, or however it's spelled.
Just remember to quarantine, and try to gutload with vegetable matter, and really high protein foods for a few days prior to feeding them to the piranhas.

Basically give you a bunch of crap about it.
Especially if you post the video.
But ignore it, and good luck.

tetras and cichlids are all good. A lot of people keep a breeding colony of convict cichlids to use as feeders.
Be careful with parasites though. I used to feed my P live and it ended up with intestinal worms. I cured it with prazinquintal, but it could be bad for em.

yep they should be fine. Just feed them appropriately sized GT's. I'm not gonna try and argue that it's inhumane to feed live because I don't believe that, however I do think that it's more humane to feed fish that are killed nearly instantly rather than bigger fish which are slowly taken apart piece by piece. They're plenty nutritious though.
