rainbow trout as feeders?????

[snot]

so me and my lady spend yesterday going from fish store to fish store looking at fish ( i know this makes her the coolest chick on earth rite)
anyway we stopped at a fish farm. they sell rainbow trout 4-6 inches for like $0.54 each
thats some big feeders cheap anyone thought about doing this?all the fish at the farm looked very healthy and have to go through govement health screening
so im thinking maybe a good healthy cheap way to get big feeders for monsterfish.
any thoughts?

are you feeding native fish?

nope no natives in our tanks
was thinking of them as part of varied diet for our rtc, tsn, rtxtsn, freshwater sleeper goby and peacock bass when they get big they are all under 8" now

Trouts can be too oily especially when your future monster fish are tropical species and must be fed once in a blue moon.

I like how you ignored my post when I said trout can be oily and not excatly healthy diet for your tropical fishes. That is why you can only feed them trout once in a blue moon.

haven't tried it yet. Your answer is why I posted here. do your have experience doing it? Or what it's it about the oils that would make them a bad idea? Me and my dogs eat trout/salmon a lot specifically because of the oils. I would think it would be good for the other fish too. I know bass pro shop here uses rainbows to feed all their display fish. So I'm wondering what's different with the tropical cats and tropical bass.
