Silversides are frozen at any fish store. Usually in their coolers. I would suggest talipia as Ive heard it is softer, and for juvies thats better. Also pick up some market shrimp.

I have to ask though dude, how many pbass have you had now? You picked up 3, currently have 2, and have a 10 gallon tank with poor filtration. That $30 would have been much better spent man on a new filter. Inadequate housing and filtration is going to cause your nitrates to spike again dude.. You really should work on getting them out of that tiny tank before buying more. I keep 2 in a 55gal grow out... I coulnt imagine keeping 5 in a 10 gal tank. Also, be cautioned that these guys are not going to be cheap to feed when they get older dude! Tanks are dirt cheap on craigslist, you can easily get a 55g for under $100. Get yourself a 55g and then a bio wheel 350 and I'd say you're on the right track for these guys.

Hope it works out though!

What size tank is the big one in? I thought you were working on a 200+ that wouldnt be done for a few months. These guys will do a minimum of 1 inch per month, and if you're lucky (or unlucky) 2 inches per month. 4 guys to 10 gallons, leaving about 2 gallons per fish isnt healthy. Make sure you're doing water changes a few times a week. In such small area the ammonia and nitrates can spike easily with all the waste they produce. These guys produce a lot due to eating live food lol
 
He's about 4inches in 20 already started the 220 amd I do all my waterchanges on weekends with some exceptions just finished treating ick in the 20 like I saidthe big tank is already started

Lol I'm not flaming you. Just being honest hah. You've gone threw a few of these guys already. Personally I would have waited to buy more until I had everything situated. At least upgrade their filtration
