I have a yellow tail barracuda 4 to 5 in
Redtail barracuda 3 to 4in
Needle nose gar 6 to 7in
Hujeta gar/barracuda 4 to 5in
Amazon leaf fish 3 to 4in
Frogmouth/chaca chaca catfish 6 in
I was just seeing if y'all had any tips on how much and when I should feed them through a week all of them are eating feeder minnows except the catfish he eats catfish righ know I feed them every morning 1 or 2 feeders

Do you quarantine the feeders before offering them to your fish?
Are all the fish in the same aquarium?

I have a 30 gallon tank that I use for a bait tank I don't know if I would consider that quarantine or not then the predators are in a bigger tank

Feed them daily,never feed anybody goldfish. You can go a few days between feeding the chaca chaca but most of your other fish should be fed about every day or so.

I would feed them daily but only 2 fish each until bigger
But I don't really have experience with theses species of fish

they are often sick or have a disease and can actually kill your fish. stick to pellets has all the nutrients needed and is cheaper
