what to feed baby rb piranhas?

[duffmanrc]

Flakes and pellets for piranhas? I never...

I fed mine shrimp, catfish nuggets, and earthworms.

i feed my p's bloodworm cubes and beefheart cubes occasionally. Someone mentioned switching to pellets? What kind of pellets are you talking about? I would love to have mine eat pellets. Thanks

Another post brought back from the dead. 2 years old. For a second i got kinda excited like oh, that members back and then i saw the dates. lol.

Anyways, yes, my reds ate flakes when they were nickel size and eat pellets now. Cichlid Gold and Staple (red and green bag) and Massivore Sinking Pellets

I'm curious also what kind of pellets are you talking about, I am looking into getting some 1" piranhas to raise but being that small I am not sure what to feed them.

at 3-4" you should be feeding them fish, shrimp, earth worms, pellets if you can get them on. they are way pass the stage for flakes or brine shrimp or bloodworms

market shrimp,silver sides and tilapia,if you are going to use worms make sure you buy them from a baitshop yo avoid pesticides or things like that,also rinse the worms off.

How often do you do water changes on the bare bottom aquarium? Do you test the water in the bare bottom?

I also recommend you offer live baby brine shrimp to trigger feeding then you can offer other foods.

I'm about to buy some 1 inch piranhas online what would I feed them at that size?

Frozen brine shrimp, small guppies, baby platies
