The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Aberrant Piranha. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Piranha raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
The baby Aberrant Piranha takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Piranha's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
The Aberrant Piranha is an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Melee starts at 106% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. At 144 base HP, the Aberrant Piranha is extremely fragile. Its base Stamina of 120 gives it limited endurance. A base Weight of 15 means minimal inventory space.
The Aberrant Piranha is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. A wild Aberrant Piranha is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
