Feeding small garters

[Chrisnif]

Today I gave feeder guppies. I tried letting them go fishing and they did so without hesitation. I will make sure they get pinky frequently enough to prevent calcium issues, but if they want to fish they shall have that option. Does anyone know if convict cichlids are a safe fish, they breed like gang busters and small ones would be perfect feeders.

You need to do some research on whether that particular fish is safe.
Looks like some cichlids contain thiaminase and others don't. Don't know if Amatitlania nigrofasciate does or not.

I wouln't feed those.. Platy's are a similar food -- they're safe. I see no point in either however
