Steak for PIRANHAS??

[Snipe]

Is it ok to feed my RBP's some steak from the market soaked in Kent ZOE?

Mammalian protiens and fats are more complex that piscine meats and fats and are difficult for the piranhas digestive tracts to break down. All these fats end up being directly expelled in their poop instead of being absorbed and end up trashing your water quality.



generaly it's not a good idea no matter what you soak it in.


i personaly have never found the need to soak in a vitamin supplement (as i also feed pellets to my piranhas) either. but i've heard it can be a good idea.

I feed pellets also. The question was for my buddy cuz he has grown ones but I have babies. Another question. If my babies are fed pellets right now when they become grown would they still eat like live fish, fillet, shrimp etc. when they get bigger?

i cant/never own them but id guess so my JD was not on live food wen she was a baby but as she got older i put feeder fish in the tank and she ate them. at the time i did not know the its not the best for her. sorry im not much help.
