My Pirahnas are less than an inch long at this point. I want to do this the right way the first time if at all possible. I have 3 at this point in a 25 gallon tank, any tips on foods, nutrients etc. All will be appreciated. They are red bellied.

feed them fish fillets and market shrimp and carnivorous fish pellets. Tank size is definitely another important factor, look into a 75g for good piranha growth and behavior for 3 redbellies, long-term. Keep the tank temp at 80-85. Change 70-90% of the water once a week, and make sure you thoroughly vacuum the gravel in the process.
Don't feed your piranhas goldfish, ever. If you want to give them a treat, shell out some real cash and buy them some guppies or platies or tetras or barbs, something along those lines.
For a 75g, filter it with a AC500 or Emperor 400 filter. Don't bother with using carbon, that stuff is a worthless money-sink, just use a sponge or two.
