KCMO...WHOOA OHHH
hi im new, but frequent at AC i had 2 gt's and and a rt and jd and a pitcus cat do these fall in the catagory of monster fish? anyways all the fish cept the gt is less then one inch long i dont think they can eat live food yet can they? if so what kind....i was thinkin about some smaller worms but i dunno if they would go for them
 
You could try brine shrimp or bloodworms, they are available live and frozen. Frozen is alot easier, but the fish seem to enjoy them just as much!
 
They will eventually be monster fish. They can easily be fed on many smaller live foods. Most baby fish, or fry are fed on live foods, the most common being brine shrimp. You can buy the eggs in most LFS and hatch them and raise them and feed as needed to your fish.
 
Try brine shrimp, guppy's, ghost shrimp, or black worms. My fish love them all.
 
Hiya psychadelicdream, welcome to mfk.
Since your future monsters are so small right now a mixed diet of good quality flake or small granules with rinsed live brine shrimp and blackworms or well washed tubifex would work well. They are still abit small for ghost shrimp or gupies (except babies).
