Preventing HITH in Piraya?

So I was scouring through a Piranha group I know of and noticed someone mentioned that overfeeding could lead to HITH. This got me thinking. So I was interested to find out what other ways and what guidelines I should follow to prevent HITH in Piraya. What do you guys do?

Clean water, avoid stress, make sure no stray voltage and don’t feed live foods.
