I have various cichlid, such as RD's and a jaguar, also have some large malawis and have recently started to breed my own guppies as feeders and was wondering if this is a good idea as a once every few days ''treat'' ?
Is it "safe" to feed freshwater (chichlids) minnows? I swtich to minnows becuase I have heard about the goldifsh thing, my chiclids are too big for the tiny rosys or guppies in the LFS. I can get larger more satisfyin Minnows from the local Bait shop and they are MUCH cheaper. i only do this once a week. Is that "safe"?
Ill have to agree with that. My husbands datnoid has grown quite well on small feeder goldfish and rosie reds.
I breed my own feeders. My convict "parents" are fed a diet of cichlid pellets, cichlid flake (mix of many types), krill, spriliuna, bloodworms, blackworms, and mysis shrimp.
My livebearer "parents" are fed the same except tropical flake mix is substituted for the cichlid flake mix.
When the fry are born, they're stuffed with golden pearl for a few days or a week until they're fed to my carnivores/omnivores.
In my opinion, live food is only as good as the food it eats, so breeding your own and "spoiling" the live food breeders is great way to know what you're feeding your fish.
