My Biology teacher in High School has one. We would feed it feeder
goldfish, but it also seemed to enjoy human extremeties. My teacher went
to touch it and it latched onto his hand. It would also jump a bit out of
the water if you put your hand above the tank.

They have one of these at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco. The
caption on the tank is "Why is this fish alone?". It then goes on in
smaller type to explain how nasty the fish is. And yes Piranha is
listed as one of it's foods!

If it is the Hoplias malabaricus you got, then you got a real
killerfish!
I go to the Brasilian Amazon every year and there I have seen a lot of
them in their natural habitat.
It eats anything that it can swallow and that is a lot. Naturally it
will eat live fishes but I would be surprised if it did not eat
mussels, peaces of dead fish and stuff like that. Avoid meat of
mammals including your fingers. Seriously, when it grows up it will be
able to cause severe damage to your hand.


Good luck

I had a wolffish for about 3 weeks and i think he jumped out of his tank and my dogs must have eaten him cause i cant find him. anyway, when i did feed him though i fed him little rosies or any kind of small feeding fish. when he eats he attacks like a maniac. it's great!
