Anchovy, Smelt, and Silverfish for food?

[mrrobxc]

hey everyone. Trying to wean my new Bass off of live. Went to the Philippine grocery store today and found frozen smelt and anchovy along with silverfish. Anyone try these? They’re cheaper than buying IQF silversides.

I'd imagine that the would work pretty well. Might grease the tank up a bit, though.

The only concern would be that they are oily but if the fish eat it that would be fine.

If Tilapia is cheap that would also be a good fish for food.
