Piranahs And Meat

I was wondering if feeding my piranahs mammal meat (rabbit) is bad for them as we speak or in the long run?? Also, I have only been doing it for a week.

 

I know you can feed your piranhas feeder fish as a treat (at the risk of giving your fish an infectous disease), but their is probaly too much fat in the animal meat which is not good for the fish. I think that t_chelle would agree!

 

I thought I already explained that mammal meat & poulty is bad. It has too much fat that the fish can't digest. It all gets stored in the liver and will eventually kill the fish.

Yeah but I talked it over with petstore owners and some of my friends and they said it would be alright as treats twice a week. My pops said rabbit meat has very little fat in it. Just asking.

 

I wouldn't do it. Rabbits may have little fat compared to other mammals, but for a fish to digest, it's still too much.

yea,,,in the wild they mostly eat other fish, VERY RARELY a mammal.
