is this an okay treat for my poly? Usually he only eats hikari massivore delite and maybe once a week some cut up fish fillet, but I got some of these for my cats, and I was thinking he'd really like them...(I'm not a fan of live feeders because of the whole disease thing, and I don't like having to mess with qua ranting them)

I feed silversides and smelt(from Giant) along with raw shrimp, shellfish, squid, etc, etc.... all the time. They LOVE it!!
jdryden, they're a fish you can buy pre-packaged from most grocery stores. I've never seen them around here(unless they're sold under a different name as well)
to be honest, I don't know what EXACTLY they are lol, but they look like minnows that have been cleaned up and they are sold in a big brick of frozen fishy goodness 
(now someone will say, they are minnows and show my ignorance

Brent they are fine all my bichirs eat them its a part of thier steady diet also they can be great to get a stubborn bichir to eat.
jd:they are a form of salt water anchovy/minnow with a pronounced silver stripe running along the side of the fish.They should be found in the freezer section at better LFS's.In europe they would be called lancefish I do believe.

Ok, so they are basically anchovies? I'm guessing they are more likely going to be found at the LFS than the local grocery store.
