anyone ever tried feeding spectrum pellets to their baby piranhas?? mine seems to try eating it but ends up spitting it out. im not sure wat a constant diet of mouse would end up doing to a piranha either, has anyone tried feeding their piranhas mainly on mice and end up having 12 inch piranhas?? or will it stunt growth??
 
i dunno about mice, i always wanted to try some day when mine are bigger, dunno if its bad for them or not... currently im feeding mine, freeze dried worms, nightcrawlers and the occasional small fish
 
if you do try, make sure your p's are big enough to consume the mice quickly.
other thing is feeding mice could make your tank very dirty with all those fur.
 
If you're refer to NLS then yes, it is one of the staple pellets I use. I mix it with omega one floating color pellets.

fur is not a problem, they r either skinned or r pinkies. wat im worried about is nutrients. feeding 8 piranhas is getting a bit expensive, i get mice for free which is why i feed them it. as soon as i get them on pellets, i'll feed them those instead.

how much r omega color pellets around usually??

dont mice carry parasites and stuff that are harmful to the fish?


hahaha, ah not necessarly....they're MICE, not rats from the sewer. My concern would be water quality
 
The omega one color is under $6 for 3.5 oz after taxes around here. It's not cheap but i feel that it is worth it. The only problem is that it isn't available in different sizes.
