I am not saying a debate within this thread. It is a debate within the fishkeeping hobby. Oftentimes, well on this forum it's sometimes, issues like feeder fish can erupt into a debate from time to time. Anyway, like I said if you don't like live feeder fish there is always pellets and frozen/thawed food.
 
thank you, and i hope a debate doesn't happen i am planning on using the advise i get. I don't want to break any ethical law. Just like you wont see 20 arrows in a 10 gal as i saw last night on another post on bad ethics. before you can actually know any thing you have to learn it some how. That is where i am in my hobby. I research with all my free time, and you just don't find reliable answers to little questions like this one. This site is great i'm hooked all you guys are very knowlagable cause you do this too! even the bad ones must have some good ideas. Thanks for the feedback, I have alot of other questions I will be asking in the future. I hope you all help me, help my hobby. We have bad water in/on this half of wa state. so it is testament to my dillagence that i have such good water quality in the eyes of lfs' and my peers. i am a student of the game!
 
my mollies and guppies breed like crazy, the tetras are always fat and i dont see fry very often, if i have too much guppies or molies i toss them in with my milawies and they just seem to diapear with no effort on the cichlids side. I grew them myself so i know they arnt -Riddled with parisites so i prefer it. i have a 60 gallon community tank and when they get too crouded i "cul" them to keep there numbers down and keep them from getting sick, I dont see anything wrong with that.

It is always better to try to pick someone else's brain than to try to pick their nose.
 
I use Convicts as feeders. I don't see any problem with it. And I am not sure I care what other people think. They are much better for my fish than Goldfish.
