Although new to this site, I have been keeping fish for a long time. I've been over on Oscarfish.com and they have pretty much convinced me that feeder fish are a bad way to go, much like the 1st responder said. A quality pellet is the best way to go. They should make up about 90% of the fish's diet. You can treat with Krill, and the like, but live feedings are to risky if you ask me. Goldfish are the equivalent of fast food. Virtually no nutritional value and you run the risk of introducing a disease or parasite every time you throw one in there. Even Raised/quarantined fish are no guarantee as they may have a disease they have learned to live with, but still harmful to the fish who you plan on feeding them to. I finally made the plunge into the big tank world and got myself a 210. None of my fish have been feed live food. So, consequently, when my convicts breed, I have lost very few... if any to predation.

And you will be dead from the neck down before your body knows it. Your finger won't even twitch. Only you get dead. So tell me, sport, do you believe that?
