novafishy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I only train my silver aro, red tail giant gourami and Jardini to ever only eat pellets and frozen foods. Live food can really empty the wallet. Justin - where do you buy your whitebait from? frozen right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve24cro Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yeh i feed my clown knife and giant gourami about 20 prawns a night, not sure if prawns are good food. I am trying to get the clown knife on whitebait, i get 1kg for $4.00 at an asian seafood shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emp1re Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Justin - where do you buy your whitebait from? frozen right? i get my whitebait from a local fishing/tackle shop ( Illusin8's brother shop in Canley vale) , it is fresher than the one you get from the local fish shop. you can get them in 1 kg for $6, ..

novafishy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ah thanks. is whitebait nutritious for the fish? Frozen right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fishy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 1kg white bait! 20 prawns! Every day! Wow you tankbuster guys are dedicated! Well done! That's a huge commitment, probably costs more than a dog to feed, got me thinking twice about a big tankbuster tank Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve24cro Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yeh does get expensive! Whitebait is cheap though, school prawns I get 1kg for $10, so not too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick069 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 this is the main reason why i got out of tankbuster around the same time justin was getting into them. white bait and prawns, it was getting very expensive. Only tankbusters i have now are bichirs and they eat pellets lol. nick! ACE discourages the practice of feeder fish and hence discussion related to this practice has been removed.

hoges Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi Rat, Insects are invertebrates (no spinal column), they are not ruled out for discussion on this forum, only verebrates. I'm sorry if I also removed a section of your post about insects, I do not recall! I was doing a grose sweep of all the posts to remove all mention of live feeders and may have got 'edit happy!'
