My 1st Feeder Fish. What a disapointment

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
LOL! this is a pretty funny thread! I'd love to see a gourami smash a feeder!

Totally agree with crazhrse get an oscar if you want your feeders to get owned!
 
...or an Esox sp. you ever get the tank for one. ;)
 
are you sure a red tail shark isn't a predator? the other week i dropped a can of tuna in the tank, 20 seconds later, nothing but the metal!

Have you ever kept paradise gourami, en71ce?
 
why would you dump tuna in your tank let alone why the can with it

The paradise gourami and some of the rosy barbs might just eat them. The rest though won't.


The paradise is to lazy, he tried to get one but it swam to fast and he gave up, I was shocked he didn't get them as he kept attacking the bag. I don't know if you ever saw a red tail, but mine is pretty aggressive. I think the guppies are ugly because they are clear, However I have room to keep them if they don't get eaten. I normally wouldn't use feeders even if I had the right fish I just wanted to treat them

I am glad you guys got a good laugh, I am always looking for a way to get people to laugh, and I did it this time without even trying :grinno:. So should I not try brine shrimp then?
 
My gouramis ate brine shrimp. The only reason I don't use brine shrimp anymore is because it is too easy for me to overfeed. I only have a small number of fish that would be interested in brine shrimp anyway. So unless someone else says otherwise, give it a try :)

I don't recommend trying this, but my opaline gourami(4inch +) sometimes steals pieces of market shrimp from my bichir. They are smaller pieces that he manages to break off of the chunk I give the bichir. He manages to swallow some pieces that are bigger than I would expect him to eat.
 
Thanks banjocat, you at least gave me some Ideas rather then just pointing out how silly I am. But I am a good sport anddon't mind getting pointed at when i do something silly.
 
Your fish will probably love brine shrimp. Go for it
