Best Answer

Baby Red Belly Piranhas about 2 to 3 times a day. As they get older you can slow down to about once every other day would be best. You don't want to feed them too much because it can cause many intestinal problems for them.

They prefer live foods but frozen and processed foods will add much needed variety.

If you are interested in feeding feeder fish, don't use goldfish, use rosy red minnows. Don't get rosies from the store and put them directly in your piranha's mouth. Pick out the healtiest specimens and quarantine them for a week in a separate tank. Add aquarium salt to the water according to the instructions on the package (dissolve it in warm drinking water) to boost their immune system. Feed them the most nutritious foods you can. High quality flakes like those made by Omega One (check the ingredients, avoid filler such as meal) and frozen mysis shrimp would be my choices.

What does a piranhas look like?

There are 3 main types of Piranhas. Here is the List from LEAST aggressive to HIGHLY aggressive. 1) Least aggressive is the Red Belly Piranha. It has a bad reputation and old myths about how they would kill and eat anything. But the piranha will not attack or kill a human. It still eats and can kill, Fish; Worms; Insects; Mice; Birds... ETC. 2) Golden Belly Piranha, i know little of this pirahna except that it is said it cannot be kept with anything but itself (Same type of pirahna). They are very hard to find and are endangered. Like the Black Pirahna. (SEE 3) 3) Black Belly Piranha is highly, the MOST aggressive piranhas known. They are black and will eat ANYTHING. If you circle the tank the black belly will FOLLOW you thinking it can attack you. It will kill anything and eat it. It is compatible with the Red belly and its own kind. Its not as often seen as a red belly. There has never been a record of a Black Belly Piranha being bred with the Red, and Golden Bellied Piranhas. THE PIRANHA IN GENERAL: It has a round face, and usually has very sharp teeth. It face cuves as it has very dramaticly pointed fins. the back fin is usually a v-shape and there is a small upper and a red under belly fin. (THIS CASE IT IS A RED BELLY PIRANHA BECAUSE OF THE RED UNDER FIN)
