What to raise as feeders?

[we4wieners]

I have a 20g ready to raise some fry to feed my BP's, FH, Geo's, CK, etc.
what should I buy...guppies, mollies..? How many males and how many females should I put in the tank to attain a load of fry? No convicts..too small of a tank.

any ideas?

Personally i'm about to breed some guppies.
and from what i've researched and been told, 2 females to every male, and a fair bit of java moss at the bottom for the babies to hide in. (so the parents can't eat them) and you should do well.
but no experience, but in a week to a month, i should be set up and ready to go

i am breeding swordtails. 3F+1M and every month there seems to be 15-25 fry. just have alot of hiding spots for the fry. it will take about 3 months or so before your feeders are large enough and the right amount for your other fish. i dont know about mollies or guppies but for swordtails, if you want alot of them have 2M+5F and ull have about 40-50 fry a month.
