Feeding wild fish to cichlids??

Wild caught life feeders should be just as getting your fish playing Russian roulette. So dont do that!!!.

As long as you take the proper precautions, I see nothing wrong with it. Of course, proper precautions for me is keeping them under quarantine for a month, feeding them, and medicating them if necessary. Then there's also the few cool things you catch which just means more tanks lol. Even when I do baitshop feeders, which are golden shiners around here, I still follow the same routine. In the QT bin for 30 days, feed 'em, water changes, a little salt, and a touch of prazi pro. Never have any issues.
