Your pirhanas sound like they are really small. Why not try feeding them some pellet food? Don't forget that they will be more comfortable with some long flowing plants to hide in. Be patient and try different types of food. Just because they are pirhanas doesn't mean that they will eat feeder fish.
Give it time and you will find their favorite food!

When they get hungry they will eat the feeder fish. I've seen my piranha run and look scared of feeders too. Just keep feeding them and keep the water clean and make them grow.
