i feed mine on mussels, prawn, lance fish, whitebait, just high quality meaty foods. Also a bit of pellet when they feel like taking it.

Spies!

However when they aren't available, come halloween I leave the tank lid off, float some apples in it and invite the local kids around. If the kids say anything, they are goldfish with novelty vampire fangs.

But between nemesis disposal and games of "bobbing for pirhana" I would advise that you just feed them on prawns, whitebait etc.
