Snakeheads put pirhanas to shame at feeding time. Not legal in the US though.

I do hope you are not looking for a fish just so you can watch it rip apart other fish, as feeders fish are uncecessary with both pirahnas and snakeheads.

Good luck on your search

Not to try to start a heated debate here, but Piranahs do need some sort of feeder (or atleast raw flesh) as it's part of their natural diet in the wild.

Incorrect, You could have a pirahna that never eats a fish in its life be just as healthy if not more healthy than one that was fed feeders and/or live fish. You are correct they are carnivores but that is not all they eat in the wild. The reason we feed flake and pelleted foods along with others is that it provides and meets the nutrition needs of the fish.

Now if your talking frozen prawns, squid, shrimp etc, then yes I agree that is a great addition to their diet.

But like the great nmonks once said, people who use feeder fish either like to spend money or gamble.

As for their natural diet, pirahnas are know to eat much more than just fish in the wild, interesting to note that when the rains come and the fruits fall into the water, pirahnas have been observed eating the fruit and some tribesmen use this as a way to know its safe to go into the water for a swim.

Piranahs also eat nuts interestingly enough. All I was saying is that if you are trying to simulate a natural enviroment and a natural diet, then piranahs need some sort of raw flesh, it doesn't have to be live, but is does have to be meat.

I've actually found that my Piranahs (no longer have them) enjoyed a raw hot dog ever once and a while lol. That and some beef heart (frozen and fresh )

Peacock bass at feeding time nothing else comes close to just how aggressive they are here check this out. I had 4 but sold as they were ganging up on other fish 2 of them in my tank still means I get wet at feeding time.

Wow mark that is a lot of p bass! Nice vid but I have to ask out of curiosity how many are in there and what size tank? I cant imagine how long of a tank you would need to house that many p bass long term.

Do you put on a bathing suit when you feed them?
