I can't say they're the prettiest fish (imo), but they sure are pretty cool looking!:) I like their spots:)

I feed these guys beef heart, krill, and earhworms. A lot of people with piranha are really into seeing them kill goldfish and other stuff, but I'm not really into it. I'll give them a feeder fish or two on occasion just for a treat.

I think they're beautiful. Especially when they're big and dark, like 8"+!:D
 
Nice pics...
The only other fish I have seen like these had washed out colors. Yours definetly look better...!

I know what you mean. The reason behind alot of people's piranha having poor coloration is their diet consists of mainly feeder goldfish, ultimately resulting in a short lifespan. Healthy Piranha and Oscar diets will look quite similar.
 
Other than being nervous at times, piranha make good aquarium fish. They do grow fast however, those cute, little spotted babies will soon grow into angry beasts with jaws and teeth like a bulldog.
