all my bass are exclusive live (fathead minnows-500 PER WEEK) and supplimented with krill and market shrimp.
Live foods are the healthiest and best for pbass(NOT GOLDFISH FEEDERS). Live minnows and such have more essential and vital minerals,vitamins ect than any pellet can provide...it also lends to more intense coloration ect.One thing you must really consider when you take a route on which foods your gonna feed are these:
1.) do I have access to this food year round and anytime I need it?

2.)consider feeding a 20+" pbass bloodworms or pellets...do you realize how much it will take to fill this fish daily and the cost?

3.)be prepared in whichever route you take at spending alot of $$ weekly to maintain this fishes health.

Just my 2cents ;)

DIESELMACK:

:iagree:

How many pbass (all bass) do you have?

Do you raise your own feeders?

I know you probably don't want to add this up yourself, but what does it cost you to feed them per month?

i still dont understand why goldfish are bad feeders? compared to rosies? i get both of those 20 for a buck.. and i rotate feeding my pbass rosies and goldfish. what are the differences between rosies and goldfish that makes goldfish bad for the fish and rosies good for the fish?
 
search for goldfish on this site there are several threads explaining the problems with them including but not limited to them blocking the absorption of certain vitamins in fish
 
There are numerous disadvantages to goldfish as feeders. The main concern most people have with feeding goldfish to cichlids is a vitamin deficiency which is thought to contribute to HITH disease.
 
Hey!!!!!?????? i cant even get it to eat anything else accept live fish? :nilly: lol
THat is not fair?? lol:ROFL:

lucky you! :drool:

Just a standard 90 gallon

Gold fish are terrible feeders compared to roseys IMO .

I do feed them on the rare occasion my LFS is out of roseys but other than that they are messy(more scales) and then there is the whole vitamin deficiency thing.

Like Del says they are ok on the occasion. Don't forget earthworms P-bass like those too
I have also feed mine the occasional market shrimp but all White seafood (shrimp calamari scalops ect...) also can cause a vitamin deficiency in fish if used as a staple diet.

Just keep them fat with a variety of food and your good to go

i fed mine's a 5inch firemouth cichlid before! and did a 80percent water change. it's whole body turn extremly colorfull! it even had a blueish/ purple and dark grass green tone to it(half of it's body) it stayed like that for a whole week! i kept the fire mouth for about 6months before i didn't want it. I got it from Mejeir. i fed the Firemouth high protein pellets, for the cause of my peackok's colorfull i guess it had to due with the high quality fish i gave it.:hearts:
