I bought one rbp from lfs and it is only a dollar size. I put it with one gold fish in a 6 gallon tank. It did not bother the gold fish and has not eaten anything for a couple of days. what can I feed it? cichilid pellet? I will buy three more when the lfs has new arrivals and put them in a 50g tank.
 
the pirhana will most likely eat the goldfish in the night when the tank lights are off
raise the temperature
that helps to get them in the eating mood
 
mine loves raw shrimp, no shell tho. also beef heart. stay away from feeders cuz they cary diseases and could make ur P sick. I got a pound of shrimp from the grocery store for like 6 bucks lasted me a long time
 
i mostly feed mine feeders because i have so many
but they love flakes when theyre little
when they get a little bigger feed them frozen
you dont wana feed them frozen yet because theyre not as ferocious as they will be
therefore they will only eat a few pieces
the rest will rot
