Why is their white cloud minnows in the tank they can kill your flowerhorn by giving him internal parasites.
So can any other source of live food or even dead food. Personally I feed mine live food as well, most of everything mine eats is home bred and raised and whatever isn't bred in my home is quarantined and treated for a month before feeding. There is honestly nothing wrong with live feeding as long as it's done right.
I agree, but oh lordy.. i wouldnt admit it out loud around here.. might open another can of worms ? #debatebrigade
Lol o yeah Im picking up what your putting down but I don't mind speaking my own mind and possibly getting scolded for it. Besides it's the internet that's gonna happen regardless. Lol yeah I feed live/dead food to my FH's but it's a treat not their main diet. Their main diet is hikari gold large floating pellets and some algea wafers. Granted tho I can't deny that it is entertaining to see my lil girl go crazy when I give her some wax worms or a guppy or 2.
*puppy* or two
jk
i wonder if anyone feeds those frozen rats like they do to the snakes?
I've tried a few different type of insects but never ventured far from that, maybe a beetle at the most, im sure i read somewhere of a person feeding mice etc, cant recall would have been years back
Lol I actually breed and raise my own mice for feeding too. Granted they get fed dead pinkies not actual live mice. But they do get live frogs and snakes during the summer but other then that it's usually worms of different kinds.*puppy* or two

And im sure works just fine, whos gonna say otherwise xD This is what im talking about, keeping the hobby fun, good protein variety.
Thats great man, you gotta be pretty organised to be doing that kind of thing, mine would escape haha
Lol I'm actually surprised I managed to tame a completely wild caught mouse to the point I can put my hand in the tank and she'll run right up, crawl into my hand and want petting. Lol the snakes are the hardest thing to keep contained imo. Lol it's just nice I have enough tanks to do everything.
