Minnows – Minnows are very popular feeders to by at a store, usually sold as Rosy Reds.These guys aren’t my preferred pick for feeder fish. Male convicts will even fight with other males. they’re territorial and protective around their offspring. They mate like crazy as well but you have to be careful about keeping these guys with other species. Convict Cichlid – Convicts are also a popular fish to use for feeders.They’re one of the only fish that can live in freshwater as well as saltwater! not only can they survive in extremely poor water conditions. The hardiness of these fish makes them almost appear bullet prove. They grow extremely fast if fed right and are great for all size predators. Mollies – Mollies are the second-fastest breeding fish on the chart.Guppies make a good feeder fish for smaller predators. They are also pretty hardy fish which makes them easy to care for. what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Guppies – These guys are your fastest breeding fish.After a couple of days have past and water parameters are leveled out, you can add feeder fish and plants.Once the gravel and decoration are set up, fill them with water and allow the tanks to cycle fully before adding fish and plants.Let’s start by filling the feeder tanks up with water and setting up the filters for them.1 Thermostat – Temperatures should be kept between 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit to encourage breeding and speed the life cycle of parasites if any happen to be introduced into the tank.1 Small Fish Net – It would be a good idea to have a dedicated net used for these tanks that will never be used in the main Aquarium.Having real vivarium plants also helps keep the water clean as well as give fish additional nutrients to peck at. Plants (optional) – I use it as a nursery for growing new additional plants for my larger tanks.This is also a good idea if you plan on using plants or decorations to help conceal fry from adults. 1 Five Pound Pack of Gravel – Gravel provides a more surface space for good bacteria to grow on. The good part is it doesn’t have to be anything fancy or expensive!
