IF... IF... You had to feed live, would you use feeders or guppies? For those who have monster fish dwarf frogs or crawfish?
What about buying ghost shrimp? I have to look into raising shrimp. I have a 8 mo old Flowerhorn to feed, lolIf you mean feeders as in goldfish, I would go with guppies. I live feed very sparingly and will also include some inverts like cherry shrimp or very tiny crayfish, both very easy to raise.
That a lot! Your info was very helpful. I may setup a cherry shrimp & guppy tank to keep around for my FHDefinitely guppies. Get a 20-40 gallon tank just for them and they will multiply like crazy. Get the biggest females you can find and save a few females from each batch and you will have a lot to feed and sell. Keep 2-3 females per male. Males can get scrappy. I have mine in with mollies and corries. I feed the babies to my cichlids about once a month as a treat and they go bonkers.
Never use goldfish, the thiaminase in their meat can lead to vitamin deficiencies in your big guys. Same with turtles too.
Oh if you have enough cash you can also feed tilapia chunks. Make sure there is no additives though, the cheaper stuff usually has some type of preservative.
Ghost shrimp are restricted in my state but they are typically sold as feeders... My problem with buying them is the quarantine they require and they may well have been treated with chemicals. Easier to raise yourself.What about buying ghost shrimp? I have to look into raising shrimp. I have a 8 mo old Flowerhorn to feed, lol
