Red belly piranha gone totally black

[thesototallyobvious]

I have 3 piranhas, one named Corpsegrinder, the biggest one, Munchies and Lil p. Munchies got his name because he seriously eats everything I give him and is the most willing to kill the feeders I give them. For the past week, Munchies has basically lost his red entirely. I doubt it's because he's ready to breed since I got them in February and he's around 5'' right now. He's also getting really aggressive towards Corpsegrinder and Lil P taking bites out of their tails. I am sorry that the pictures are really small and not very good quality but that's all I could really do.

Feed more shrimp, has carotene that improve red color.

And I'm just gonna throw this in there just in case: never feed piranhas goldfish!

Because it tends to lead to your piranhas death.

Breed other feeder fish, or feed chunks of tilapia ,trout shrimp etc

I'll sometimes catch trout and feed it to them. I also have an assorted frozen fish food thing that I feed them in case I run out of alive ones, ie oyster, octopus tentacles, actual fish fillets etc.
