What fish do you consider "feeders"?

Whatever is available...usually Danios, Guppies, Minnows, Goldfish, Ghost Shrimps...the occasional Koi or Sunfish that's been mixed in with the other feeders.
i wish the uk didnt make feeders illigal
my snakeheads and pirana have to survive on frozen prawn / mussles / cockles / bloodworm cubes

me too. I have some nice ones, and they breed. the babies usually end up food, but not really intentionally. if only they'd stop breeding.
I don't have the space to keep 1,000 convicts, though. my lfs doesn't have the demand for them either. my babies end up food, but I don't intentionally breed them for it. if any survive, they deserve to live. and breed.
back to original topic, I consider baby gold fish and comets feeders. The only live food my fish get are the convict fry and some earthworms for my oscar. other than that, all meat food is freeze-dried or frozen.

feeders are illegal in the UK? but snakeheads and pirhana aren't? ironic, kinda.
whatever, though. feeders really aren't good for the fish, anyway.

I've wondered that, too. there are plenty of (food) fish sold live that are also traded in the aquaria market. much cheaper when you are buying them as dinner, rather than as a pet. some shops (especially in the asian markets in bigger cities) sell fish that are in high demand, and unobtainable, in the aquarium trade.
