Fish Eating Fake Plants

[piranha_tim]

So ... I caught my Piranha eating fake plants.

This can't be good for the fish.

Anything I can do?

Would feeding him now be a good idea? Or should I hope he throws it up or something?

Anyways ... I feed him some shrimp and zucchini (just incase he is trying to source veg for digestive issues)

Does it concern anyone if the fish are eating the fake plants? Sorry to bug I can't find even an article about it online.

Sorry I cant help you, but here is a free bump for you.

Chances are that he's just bored since piranhas are active schoolers and just nibbling / playing with stuff he finds of interest.

Well I am making a wild assumption but it the morning after now and he seems 100% in good health with no distress ... I would imagine a fish would have had digestive issues with more then12hrs if anything was going to happen.

I just think he is having a growth spirt.

The prevous owner had the Piranha in a 30G I have put him in a 75G ... could be hungry as he has starting to pick up in size. (100% a wild guess)
