Rosey still alive?

[_Piranha_]

On weekends I treat my P's to a few roseys ( i got a tank for them)... Well just now they destroyed 4 of them... an left the one mid. size one alone hes swimming on the top. They arnt even chasing him anymore. Any bets on how long he will live in there tank lol? They didnt eat at all since yesterday an there only inch an a half big.

This never happens with my P's its like taking the fun out of the hunt today.

When i still had my red tail and shovel nose they were both about a foot long each and decided to eat my two 9'' needle fish.....but for some reason they would never eat my 8'' rope fish, could never figure it out....

yeah man, I dont understand. Maybe thats why I been like addicted to my fish lol. Amusing to watch an try to understand there personallity an there actions.

How often an much should I be feeding them? Till they stop eating or just till I think they had enough? An how many times a day? From what I see they eat alot. Safe to feed them veggi's?

We need more info like size? Yes veggie is safe, they'll eat them. I use to toss some in for my pleco and they'd eat it themselves instead. Had to tie down the veggies for the plecos. Never tried it as sub adults though, that was just when they were small

they are only about a inch an a half or so. Biggest 2 are two inches an they seem to eat little chunks of fish an whatever else sinks down. But the little fish wont eat pellets or anything. They eat tiny feeders an that is it. Or left overs from the big two. I dont think they got big enough teeth yet or something. But the big two are growing fast an the small ones arnt. Call me paranoid but I dont think they get enough food. Also they dont eat anything that floats they just wont go to the top to see it. They stay by the plants an cover on the bottom.
