Which food we can give to Baby Piranha Fish?
Hi there!
Piranhas in the wild are generalists, feeding on fish, crustaceans, insects, plants, fruits, nuts and seeds. Do not feed your piranhas live goldfish or other feeder fish if you can help it! They can transfer diseases and are not nutritionally balanced. Avoid buying adult piranhas that will only eat live feeder fish. Also, don’t feed piranhas chicken, beefheart or other mammalian foods, as they may contain fats that your fish cannot metabolize and this can cause health problems over time. Young piranhas will thrive on Aqueon® Tropical Flakes, Color Flakes, Tropical Granules, Shrimp Pellets and Cichlid Pellets along with frozen tropical fish foods. Adults can be fed medium to jumbo Aqueon® Cichlid Pellets and Monster Fish Medley, as well as frozen krill and other large frozen aquarium fish foods. For best results, rotate their diet regularly and feed only what they can consume in 2 to 3 minutes. Net or siphon out uneaten food immediately. When keeping more than one piranha, make sure they don’t go hungry or they may go after each other.
Thank You.
