I use to feed live mice to my gator, and it was cool as hell... although sometimes it took up to 15mins for the kill (for the mouse to come close enough). Anyways, a live mouse would be cool.
 
okay, i'm off to 99 ranch to look for a live bass... i know for sure they have live catfish, so if there are no live bass i will pick up a live catfish

Woohoo Ranch 99! Don't forget the Pocky.
 
well i got a large mouth bass in the tank and they are just staring at it... i'll post a video if they decide to eat it
 
I have a feeling if the bass is over 14" it's going to have some piranha for lunch. ('ol bucketmouths are far more agressive that most native freshwater fish)

there was a vid of piranhas ripping apart a live white mouse dropped into their tank a while ago, i think i saw it on Stileproject....pretty awesome vid...mouse was struggling to stay afloat, but got pulled underwater and torn apart...
 
You are going to destroy that tank if you keep feeding this fish huge chunks of food like that, especially if that Bass gets eaten. There is no way the tank can process the waste of a large fish getting eaten and you are gonna have an ammonia spike...

Stick with smaller things like Goldfish. Another thing you want to keep an eye on, feeder goldfish are typically diseased from poor conditions. Watching your Pirahna rip through a $2 is not funny when they are all infected a week later because you brought disease into the tank. Try breeding your own fish to feed the Pirahna. Check out http://www.piranha-fury.com/pfury/index.php for loads of carnivore discussion for keeping them responsibly.

You can buy frozen beef heart at most pet stores for cheap as well, great carnivore food.
