Right now I'm keeping my feeders in a fully filtrated and heated 10 gallon. To tell you the truth, they are EXTREMELY spoiled. I really want to turn the 10 gallon into a planted, and add a fire-belly newt and maybe some dwarf puffers, but I don't know where else to keep my feeders. Any suggestions from the most helpful people in the world? :headbang2
 
what do you feed them with.

i got my feeder Cons breeding in the same tank as my Pike, lets just say hes quite chubby most days.

they're fed to a Florida Gar.

there you go, toss in a bunch of con in there.

they will breed and you got a constant stream of food.
 
You can get those in-tank quarentine box with removable sides.
During feeding time, just remove the side and let them swim to their doom.
Either that or your monster swim into the box.
 
No need all the heaters etcetctetcte

JSt Put them in a big plastic bucket n put some eatable plants n u dont hv to bother abt themm.............
 
guppies in my 20L grow out. Once a fish can eat the guppies, they move up to the next level, so its serves 2 purposes for me.

We're not all lucky enough to live in a country where it's warm enough to turn the heaters off.
Don't have to rub it in. ;)

I say once the weather start to act like spring maybe move them into a 10G-20G rubber maid tub with a sponge filter.
If you want to just be even more "care free" maybe move them into the furnace room. Room temp is fine for most feeders.

I currently keep my feeders in tanks but will most like move mine into tub & possibly outdoors when weather permits.


I use cons as feeders, what about you?

i house my feeders in 3 60 gal tanks. each one i rotate in order to when i put them in. mine are store bought so i have high temp, high salt, and also use an ich treatment in all 3 tanks. the goal is to feed healthy feeders to my fish.
I like your system.I have a similar set up but I have a thirty and a ten gallon tank for my rotation.
