Thats a large buffet you need to produce it sounds like...I have tried guppies and mollies, it was cool to do, but didn't really work very well.

I have heard convicts breed like rabbits, grow fast and literally never stop popping out babies.

I have also heard that doing a worm farm is the best feeder way to go. Cheapest, easiest to maintain, most nutritious and more.

I have not tried this either, but once I have a good place to do it I will be looking forward to trying it.

Good luck with feeding haha
 
you might want to try to get them on market shrimp, pellets and all that cheap good stuff later on and feeders as a treat

but guppies and convicts, all you really need is a tank and water, its kinda kool
oh and a flower pot for convicts
 
i think con's are good feeders.
 
okay that sounds easy
 
With the size of the fish you're trying to feed you might better off breeding mice or rabbits. j/k
Seriously though, if you raise the convict fry to a decent size, that's probably your best bet.
 
a pond of convicts would be the only way i see to keep all those fish fed.
 
sounds like a plan i guess i will do the convicts. How big of a tank you think? Wat should i put in the tank? like pump and ect..
 
Breeding enough fish to feed that lot sounds like a ridiculous amout of hard work to me. Why not feed them frozen food? With modern manufactuering techniques it's practically as nutricious as fresh fish and you won't have the possibility of introducing disease from the feeders.

A worm farm will be less work, a lot cheaper to run and will provide more nutricious food than dicking about with a tankful of tiny livebearers. Hardly any fish need to be fed livefood, and definately not hardy, easy to keep species like the ones your keeping.
