Okay I know how UN healthy feeder fish can and the nutrition value isn't the best. What is the best feeder and easyest to breed? I was thinking Brina shrimp any suggestions? I don't want to feed my redtail just feeders just to have them as a little treat
feeder fish

I guess this is for a red tail catfish? In which case i doubt brine shrimp will hrlp considering their large appetites...
I always hear convicts are easy to breed and once they goin they are like rabbits an dont stop...
But may i ask why feed feeders at all? Even as a treat if you know they aren't necessary? After all you could just as easily goto the frozen food section in your supermarket to pick up some seafood, defrost it in a cup of tank water and feed...

Well ATM he's just a baby he's about 4 inches if that. And why? Its really all about I like predatory. I used to have 6 huge channel catfish and I used to buy 50 feeder gold fish at a time. I was also thinking of going to the local pond and getting a net since there's 1000s of bait fish
I also go to my grocery store and but fresh catfish talapia squid shrimp scalops and you name it. I will chop it up and freeze it then break off cubes and feed them that. Fish love it.

That's also another reason I don't want him to be lazy. He's gota earn his food. He has a few guppies ATM but he hasn't touched them. He only touches night crawlers
To each his own i guess?
But just as a word of advise, if you go the route of catching wild fish to use as feeders, be sure to quarantine them first, since dealing with internal parasites is no fun...

i feed my catfish shrimp and tilapia from the store. if you really want to breed feeder fish, the easiest would be guppies, u just leave them alone and every 28 days they give live birth. at least u can keep your feeders in good living conditions unlike the LFS suppliers
i also used wild caught feeders and baby bluegill and sunfish, just be careful where your catching them from
