A terrible tragedy struck over the weekend with one of my reds belly piranhas...I had 4...now there are 3.
I went to visit one of my friends and stayed the night and the next morning i found the smallest of my reds' head lying at the bottom of the tank :(:(:(
Most likely reason: Neglected to feed them for ONE DAY!!!
***I will never make the same mistake ever again! It was so sad..***

R.I.P Little red....R.I.P
 
How big are they and what size tank? Usually once they get past 4 or 5 inches or so you can skip a days of feeding and just feed once every two or three days, when there still young though they still have the tendency to cannibalize.
 
What size were they and how big is your tank? And sorry for your loss.
 
they are all around 4 -5 inches in a 110 gallon. :/ im waiting until they grow to be about 6 inches so i can add my other p in there.
 
Did they eat it or just stress it to death... either way sorry for your loss.
