Guppies as feeders

[crazy4dats]

200 gf a week? If I were you, I look for ways to wean off the live meat...not particularly good for the fish anyway. What's your stock?

I agree. Pellets are more nutritional and will be way cheaper in the long run.

10" RTC, 2x 13" spotted gar, 2x 10" oscars(one is albino), 1x 9" clown knife. I have lots of big fish but those are my goldfish murdering stock. I'm trying to ween them onto massivore and the sinking carnivore pellets from hikari. The clown knife won't eat anything that is t swimming tho

i find that so strange because my ck ate dead food without me even trying to ween him off live. He just attacked pellets and tilapia

Believe me I've been trying. I even let him go without any food for 5 days and tried to give him thawed frozen tilapia and shrimp. Nothing. Lol he likes his food to bleed

Then I suggest feed rest of the fish until they are sated with pellets/ other foods, then release a few feeders. Cut down your food cost and maybe the ck will get some clue.

Havn't met an Oscar or a rtc that will refuse massavore yet.

The Oscar and RTC are easy. They'd eat anything I throw in there, edible or not, the issue I have now is that the other fish can eat their fill on pellets, and when I put feeders in, they will still go after them. Even if it means grabbing a feeder and not being able to swallow it, they still kill the feeders immediately. I'm talking 20 goldfish in 20 minutes or so. The CKF hardly gets a chance to swallow on before his food is gone
