I live in the Northern Atlanta Suburbs. I fish Lake Lanier a lot and Blue Back Herring were introduced here as a bait fish by accident.

Has anyone has any experience feeding their Aquarium fish "Blue Backs". They have become so Dominate in the Lake that a Record size spotted bass I bet will come from that lake soon. Makes the Striped Bass FAT AND HUGE also.

And feedback would be welcomed.


Thanks

i recently got a florida gar (at least i think its a florida gar) and i feed him guppies but i was wondering if zebra fish would be better than guppies they breed even faster than guppies and the eggs hatch pretty fast as well

Goldfish, rosies and cyprinids are generally not good as feeders. Especially to cichlids. Raising your own live food is good like guppies, convicts, etc.
