Try R-INLA. It will allow you to model all three diet class time series 
in one model (even allowing for different distributions if required). 
And you can also include correlation between the time series. And test 
whether those diet classes have the same trend or not.

Hello,

I am modelling the diet of Nile perch through time. I have 3 diet classes as
my response variables; fish 1, fish 2, and invertebrates.

The response variables are correlated, declines in invert consumption ~
increase in fish consumption. Any advice on how to handle this would be
appreciated. I would like to use GAMs as my time series shows fluctuations
that could only be fit by high order polynomials if I were to use a linear
model, but open to suggestions.

Thank you for your time.

P.s. I will be comparing the fit of the time series GAM with a model based
on other predictors, with a training and validation split for my data.
