goldfish are bred and kept in unhealthy conditions (copper-loaded water, underfed, overstressed), so they are prone to carrying diseases transferrable to your larger fish

both goldfish and fathead minnows inherently lack a critical fish nutrient called Thiaminase, which is important in fish growth.

You can use them (emphasis on minnows rather than goldies) as a peripheral part of a fish's diet, but use fish pellets or krill or market shrimp as a staple diet for your predators.

i just want to know your opinion regarding the growth of my clown knife. it is now about 22" and its been with me for around 5 years ( i got it @ 2 1/2 "). do you think it will still grow bigger? is 22" not bad for a 5 year old? is it stunted already? it is thick and chunky and very sharp and alert. it only eats feeders exclusively...

22" ... can show the pic of this big size fish?
