Welcome!

What size aquarium is it in and how often do you do partial water changes? If you have a test kit, I would like to know the levels of ammonia, nitrite and that sort of thing. Also, what are you feeding it now?

Meaty foods and fresh water often lead to a more rapid growth, if everything else is good.

What type of raw meat are you thinking about?

The best thing for quick growth is great food and a really large tank. I prefer around 120 gallons for piranhas. Also I have found the best food to be blood heart. Do not feed them feeder goldfish, they stink.

I had a whole school of redbellies long ago and it took forever for those little fellas to grow. Sometimes it just takes time! I do envy you though, I love black Pirhanna and I can't get any here in Florida.
