feeder goldfish vs pinkies

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No different than anyone of us :) I do it too :D Thats why i get a good laugh when it isn't me ;)
 
The thing is, I was bringing up memories of my friends snake eating mice thus I just had the implementation in my head that pinkies had fur for some obsurd reason :screwy: My fault for not thinking it through that pinkies are in fact just newborn mice.
 
neither - pinkies have mammalian fats that fish are not able to properly digest (as already stated above) but goldfish are low in nutrients, very fatty themselves, and also contain an enzyme - thiaminase - that will inhibit your p's from absorbing the proper amount of vitamin B, which can lead to skin/scale and immune system issues down the road. your best bet would be to set up at least a 30g tank for breeding feeders yourself, and use guppies, mollies, or a pair of convicts. the initial investment will seem like a lot for "just feeders" but it is worth it.
 
i dont like feeder goldfish but i had to choose out of the 2 feeder goldfish would be my choice pinkies just might not digest as well
