$200 minimum order is alot of guppies =)... I have a 3" large mouth bass so I could use some small ones as well. Full grown guppies would be too big... at least for awhile! The LFS's near where I live do not have feeder guppies and even the small tropicals they sell are a bit big or pricey to be using as food.

Cut up nightcrawlers, or get small goldfish or rosie reds trust me they can eat it.

I got some feeders I guess I just didn't notice them before when I was at the store... Bass is eating as fast as it can push another into its stomach LOL. Took about 5 minutes for the bass to really fatten up!

Cut up nightcrawlers are a better food source anyways.

I agree. I actually created a compost pile of grass clippings etc just to have worms for my fish. Variety seems to be the key. I bet they'd go for any of the sticks/pellets intended for cichlids, too.

yea but there is nothing like watching a bass chase down a guppy and BAM...its over, i love how mine will try and fit three or four in its mouth at once and still be chasing them aroudn the tank...

yea but for the long run if you keep feeding the bass guppies, it will end up 1. looking like **** or 2. getting sick. Try and get it off feeders and feed it pellets, earthworms. and give it a couple feeders as treats here and there, i did that with my first pbass and it ended up in pretty bad shape, its better now though after i switched it to pellets and its now in my friends show tank

if you insist on feeding guppys try breeding your own.
