Pred Food
 
I was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase live food fish or inverts?

I used to buy ghost shrimp from Riverside. Pretty pricey meals tho @ $.50 a piece....

When they have them (its getting rare) they currently sell them for .59$ Be watchfull though, for every bag of 20, seems like I get 5 or so DOAs even before I hit the register.

is there such a thing as a saltwater feeder fish? other then say a 5$ chromis or damsel?

Around Calgary, not that I have found. Wai'sshrimp that is simillar to the ghosts at Riverfront, but at a buck a piece it gets to be an expensive meal. It looks like I will have to resort to raising my own to feed my two dwarf lions. If you think you may want to do this take a look at some of the forums in reef central under the aggressive tank section.

what you need to do is get your lions to eat frozen krill and so forth , it will save you a fortune

hey Richard,

gold fish/minnows are 13cents each at petsmart. I buy them, and gut load them flake and cyclopeze before feeding my lion.

I was buying them, they are like $3 each now, as the major suppliers stopped selling them. Well, thats what Nate at big al's was saying.

My lion would eat 4 of them at a time, now that gets expensive hehe

Id be cautious about that as feeder minnows and feeder goldfish quite often are disease carriers.
I hope for your sake you are lucky and do not get any bad ones.

serious? I did not know that. So what do you suggest is a better feeder? or do I just get someone to train him to dead stuff?
