Questions about raising baby Piranha?

Recently purchased two baby red bellied Piranhas from the store. They are about the size of a nickel, have them in my 10 gallon alone at the moment until they get a little bigger. The aquarium is planted so they have places to hide and i keep it around 80 degrees. I just have a carbon filter on it im not sure if i need something more than that for these guys at this stage? Also I'm feeding them freeze dried plankton pieces. The store had feeder goldfish in the tank when i bought them and they said that the Piranha like to have them around because they know they have food and wont go after eachother, so should i go purchase a few feeders?



Any other tips for raising my little Piranhas would be great Thanks!|||You have 2 piranha in a 10 gallon tank???



You have got to be kidding me!!! Did you do ANY research before you bought them? You need AT LEAST a 200 gallon tank in order to properly keep piranha...they are schooling fish and need at least 6 of their own kind...plus, they need a lot of space because they are extremely territorial and aggressive...



The best advice I can give you is to return them to the store. Buy some fish that are more appropriate for your tank.|||My dad juster have piranhans and he fed them on live eels what he caught!
