Hi i am new to keeping piranah. I have just got 4 baby rbp's not really sure what the proper name for them is so i have placed a pic incase anyone can help with that. I was told they are around 6 weeks old. I am feeding them on lance fish but dont know how often to feed them once or twice a day. I have been told by a friend to feed them on krill once a week as it will improve there colour does anyone agree with that. I would welcome any tips for keeping and looking after them. thanks

the tank is only 23 uk gal but it is only short term as want to get a 100 or 150 uk gal tank asap. I should have one and get it set up within a month.

Can anyone give me some advise as i got 4 baby rbp's about 6 weeks old but 2 of them wont eat a thing they just stay at the back of the tank hiding behind the plants. The only time they come out is when the light is off at night but still wont go anywere near food.I am really starting to worry about them.

i am feeding them on krill once a day and lance fish 2 times a day and the temp is spot on 80. I have noticed the 2 that wont eat are still the same size as what they were when i got them but the other 2 are starting to get there belly's and nearly twice as big. The man at the fish shop where i got them told me only 1 would survive out of all 4 as the most dominant would kill the rest is this true as wondering if its starting allready. By the way how do i make sure they can see the food every time i walk near the tank they all panic so they cant be blind lol.
