Feeder tank

[YOULOOKLIKEAFISH]

I've got a 20 gallon feeder tank that holds roseys, and small comet gold fish. How should i go about treating the feeders to make sure they arn't infested with parasites or contagious diseases?

me personally i treat my feeders as if they're already sick i try to treat them for all types of diseases and parasites

NO FEEDERS !!! Feeders are a bad idea i would not personally use gold fish as feeders they live in copper loaded waters and copper is bad for most tropical spieces AVOID AVOID AVOID

i dont use feeders anymore either... try using market prawns bro

 

[shookONES]

Definetly check out prawns, silversides, or lancefish. Just as, if not more nutritious than feeders without any risk.

i also agree with not useing feeders and just feeding my fish with only frozen and dry food. i usually use feeders just to get the fish started and also to see if the fish is healthy

goldfish are trash. Don't feed your fish trash.

my fish won't accept anything but live, i've tried the starvation method but one of my fish starved itself to death and the others were on the verge of that, they wouldn't accept any (shrimp & carnivore)pellets or frozen food.

I use Melafix for my fish. It seems to really work well.
