I have a pair of reds that just spawned,,,in a 55. I was just wondering what kind of food I should get to get the most fry to survive...I am gonna get a 10 or 20 gallon. I will get a sponge filter, heater and lid...any other supplies I should get?
Red Belly....they spawned

How often should I feed them. I am gonna pick up some "baby brine shrimp" if the lady has it on hand. I leave for work at 5:40 in the morning and don't get home until around 5 usually, but can make it by 4 if I wait to go to the gym. my gf works nights sometimes, so that means she is home from 7am-7pm....how much do they usually go for to a LFS?
Well I went to the LFS and the lady hooked me up pretty good...got a 20% discount on everything and 50% off a submersible heater..she also agreed to take the fry off my hands when they get big enough...she isn't too happy with the current supplier from what I got out of it. Wish me luck 
if its a red belly piranha,.and you got them spawned at only 55 gal? YOUR SO LUCKY man!...update pics please...
OMFG spawning piranhas is like the holy grail of fish keeping that is somewhat obtainable 
congrats many times over..

This is actually the 2nd pair that I have had spawn...I used to have to breeding pairs in a 125. There was a total of 3 spawns in the 125 and now this in a 55. Then I woke up to my 2 females dead in the 125,,,we think they became egg bound.
Do I start feeding them the baby brine shrimp once the sac disappears from the fry? Right now they are just small fry looking like they are attempting to swim.

Thanks, I can't wait to get these guys growin...about how many can I expect to survive? And what would be a good price to shoot for from the LFS? already had some agreements, but never said anything about prices. there are so many of them right now, only a few of the eggs didn't get fertilized/are turning white...
I would say good job but you didn't get them to breed lol Good job mother nature. J/K I would like to see som epics of the fry and keep us posted about how you care for them I hope to have mine breed one day and ill need to know how to take care of them
