Piranhas eat fish, crustaceans, aquatic plants, fruits, seeds, insects, lizards, carrion that reaches the water, birds, young caimans, and other piranhas.

Only in rare conditions are humans attacked, although minor injuries to swimmers occur more frequently. In contrast, they have been known to tear apart a hooked fish before the fisherman can reel it in.
Piranhas would eat normal fish food, but they are carnivorous, and woulld like meat products, and their favorite is live bait. (Note: I'm not trying to gross you out or something with the last remark... it is actually the truth.)
In a small group, piranhas will eat fish, turtles, frogs, and geese. In a large group, they can eat anacondas.
Depends, there are 13 different species of piranhas. One of the most vicious species, red piranha, will eat any living thing really. The most vicious piranha with the sharpest teeth, the black piranha, is a vegetarian and will only eat plants. They like to eat jungle food for they have come from the Amazon river.
Some species of Piranha are carnivorous (eat flesh) others are herbivorous (eat plants).
