I've heard you can darken piranhas as they get older by giving them a meaty diet of frozen foods, does anybody know a good frozen food for this?

I've never heard such a thing. Piranah have such a varied diet to begin with, anywhere from smaller feeder fish, crayfish, even mice as they get large enough... (they like live foods) and in all my years of piranah care, I have never seen a specific type of food alter their color.

What will alter their color is stress, changes in water quality, maturity, and spawning.
