what exoctic food have you given to your p's before?

[jp80911]

Just trying to stir things up a bit since there's not that many exciting things going on in this forum.

As the title said what kind of "exoctic" food/feeder have you given to your piranha's before? market shrimp, fish filet, squids, etc are all good stuff but boring. lets hear something outrages, exciting

I'll start first: Most exoctic was a baby red ear slider. Bought two but one wouldn't eat or eat very little for some reason and died after few months. why waste it so I gave it to my rbps and in few seconds it disappeared in front of my eyes, shells and all. damn, that was impressive.

I was about to say something really gros to you because I love turts but I continued reading and you say it was already death so I guess it doesnt matter.


Cheers.

crayfish would probably be the most exotic thing my fish ever ate. I wasn't actually feeding it to him, I was trying to see if inverts could live with a serra. The answer is no....

One time I had this dog and it had 5 puppies. The runt was so small and the others would always pick on him. Then the dominant male knocked him over and he hit his head and started having seizures. So I since he was so small and tiny I threw him in my tank of caribes and they ate about half of him.



that story was 100% true up until the point when I said I had this dog.

dude, I was going to say that's the most extreme feeder then I saw your last statement. you let me down man...I'm disappointed

to P keepers (only the ones that feed live), all fish can be feeders. I think as long it's a healthy feeder then it's good eat for our piranhas. I feed both live and prepared food and I don't even watch when they hunt for live prey most of the time.

I found us human to be very interesting creature sometimes, we can always find reason/excuse to justify ourselves for our doing. regardless you are into feeding live or against it.
However, let's just stick to the topic and let's not go too deep into this never ending arguement.

Hi.

Look don't take me wrong, I am not a goodie two shoes if you know what I mean, sometimes I feed life feeders to my P's too but there is a difference between feed them small minnows or caryfish than to feed bigger fish or other animal that for size reasons would have a slow and horrible death in the pygos jaws.

Why do I say so?, because unless you count on a very big pygo shoal the fish or any other animal we gave to our P's would be shreded apart little by liittle having a painful and horrible death.

I have commited the same mistake that is why I tell you this, to watch other animals die in front of your very eyes is not nice.

The first time I kept P's I used to feed them live feeders quite often and once I gave them a big axolotl, at that time I just had one pair of red bellys so they just disemvoweled the axolotl and guess what? its guts were full of parasits, worms, I really felt like pukeing... it was quite disgusting in every sense.

So this therad should be good for other people to read and do not commit our same mistakes instead of saying: " Gee thiese guys give their P's every sort of living stuff (hamsters, rats, big fish, frogs, etc.) and they say it is very funny to watch it"......



Cheers.

I totally agree, that's why I said as long as the feeder is healthy it's good eat for our piranha. I wouldn't feed anything unhealthy to my p's, I breed all my own feeders (convicts and mollies) and I hope other's do do the same. only quality feeder goes into our p's stomach not just some crappy diseased junk.
