Good for you,I dont use shad but I feed my guys minnows.They seem better than the scrawny rosy reds and low nutrition goldfish at the stores and it takes less of them to fill their bellies.

Oh most of coursely,I treat and quarantine them before they go into the feeder tank.They are treated with coppersafe and given medicated flakes along with the regular flakes,they take to the flakes quickly.

If you're cutting them up any way you could freeze them before you feed them. That would help with some of the possible parasites.

It's definitely easier on the pocket.
