Fed my gar salmon! Will it help him bulk up?

tilapia and smelt are also good items to mix in...the smelt can be a bit on the fatty side as well, but your gars may take it more than they take the salmon. tilapia is usually pretty cheap at the store, and they will usually pick up on that food item quickly as well--

smelt seems very oily and gross to me. they seem to love it though. i allow my fish about 1 smelt each a week...but shrimp is there staple food item. pellets and krill are also offered in moderation on a daily basis.

i fed mine strictly live for years and just successfully converted (though i still supplement live). I got a bunch of large smelt (silversides) and shrimp from the grocery store, threw in some beerheart, clams and krill. Chopped em all up, put in a minimum amount of unflavored gelatin. Whitefish and smelt are better in the long run then tuna and salmon due to fat content.

Is whitewish... silversides? Or just in general white meat?
