I have 4 RBP that wont eat. I have had to feed them live fish alot lately because of being away from home. I try to feed them shrimp and beef heart but they dont seem to want anything to do with it. are they just spoiled and want only live now or could they have picked up somthing and not want to eat because of being sick? they have been acting this way for about 2 weeks now. there is no sign of any external disease that i can tell.
 
I'm no expert on piranhas, but i do know alot of fish are reluctent to try new foods. Any difficult dietary changes i've done wiht my fish usually have taken a bit over two-weeks, so if the same holds true for your piranhas they *should* start eating any day now. If they still are not eating in a few days i'd give them a feeder or two, just to keep them going and continue trying with te beef heart and shrimp.
