Feeder Fish Question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
great chart where did you get it i did a search for somethign like this once and could not find anything....

the only problem is the only info they have for the general feeders (golds,rosies) is crude fat for golds nothing else

also i know of a LFS that has mollies for feeders is there a posted value for them ?
 
If you're going to use goldfish for feeders, gut load them with high quality food before you feed them off to your cichlids.
 
I hear this all the time. I have a 20 year old Clown Knife that has eaten GF pretty much weekly his entire life. He ate exclusively Goldfish his first 3 years. In college I was able to get him to eat cichlid sticks mainly because I spent his goldfish money on beer!!!! Oh, and I've never quarantined the feeders either.

I liken all the GF hate to an urban myth.
There is all kinds of compelling data that makes it seem like they are the plague of the aquarium yet no one can definitively say that a fish died prematurely from eating GF.

So I will keep on feeding my CK 4 dozen (3 dozen small and 1 dozen large) goldfish every week and then cichlid sticks for the other 2-3 days of the week that the goldfish are gone.

Good luck everyone on the witch hunt....

Doesn't look like I have one here. I have my camera but it has the newer memory chip in it. The picks are the old chip. Gonna have to get those from home.

The guy actually has cataracts. He can still hunt the fish though....Still a pure predator...
