im planning on breeding cons and possibly ghost shrimp. is there any other fish/invertabrates that breed quick and are good for your fish? is gut loading worth it and if so what should u feed your feeders? any tips suggestions are greatly apreciated thanks
 
Hi I have a posting in the Classifieds for Cloning Crayfish and they produce a 1000 babies every month so they would make a really good feeding source for your fish.

wont crays be a pain in the hiny to get the meat out of? currect if im wrong, i would think him eating the claws and shell might rip open his belly.

You are wrong. Bass will eat crays whole with no problem.
 
Swords and Plats can be a good food source of feeders if breed right. There was a dude way back in the day that showed cichlids. He would have huge vats with the cichlids and thousands of swords in with them. The cichlids would eat just the babies and leave the adults for the most part. The swords were freakin huge! He won lots of awards. Some of witch were for the very swords that were the food.
