guppies will be my pick but not worth as you pump the fries
must as well get a packet of feeders
more than 50 pieces for less than $2

wow.. really so cheap? home breed can reduce or totally wipe out the disease or parasite that those feeders carry
Pardon my ignorance, what exactly are Red Fish ??
Methinks, the "platy or swordtail" feeders.
i think its the red fish.Dumped into a large tank(used to be used for luohan ) at the balcony. water green, hydrilla overflowing.recently had a case of blue green algae outbreak,that's why waterchange.mostly does topup of water due to evaporation.No mechanical filtration nor airpump.
The red fishes have started breeding and giving birth to fries.Even pond snails are breeding in it.
may i know if YOU buy those feeders type or JUST go LFS get those nice nice looking type

LFS feeder type. 1 bag 2 dollars like 20 pieces.
will be trying the red fish.. for a 11" ornate and endy, don't think they can whack goldfish as abit too big.. maybe the red fish.. are they easy to breed and maintain? i saw your post, it's really quite bad.. didnt know how they can actually breed in there.. guess is floating plants and very low pumpflow.. am i right in saying that?
0 pump flow.Some hydrilla(it grew to became a giant bunch). The tank is beside the balcony.Well it took quite a long while before it bred i guess.
but now i have like 40 over fries separated in another tank.Removed pond snails from the main tank to the smaller one until they are all bigger.
Be careful if you get feeder guppies to rear. MOst come with FREE diseases and pathogens. You might want to separate them from the rest of the fishes that you already have.

go for platy.
question is the supply will not be fast enough if got only 1 production tank.
CHeers..
As another Bro had mentioned about FREE Pathogens and Diseases. The General rule of thumb: Since your're getting Feeders to breed in order to sustain enough Live Feed for your Endys is to always Quarantine the Feeders first
Thanks & Regards,

wa bro...really not worth it....i tried already but failed...goldfishes arent that easy to breed....need size...guppies should be the easiest....to top that..they are livebearers...but the time spent to pump them up is just not worth it...tried and tested =)
