Starting a feeder tank. Advice wanted.

[meBNme]

So my fish are getting large enough to consume feeder fish.

I dont want to go to the LFS weekly and dump 50 feeders in my tank at a time. I figure the best thing to do is start up a smaller tank and just breed feeders.

What should I start with?
Should I go with feeder guppies, rosies, silver-sides, or what?
What size tank? Can I grow them fast enough to supply as my fish as they grow larger?

My current tank and fish info is in my bio.

I'm assuming you're talking about your bichirs, knife, and gar.
I think by hte size of your fish guppies would be fine. Maybe rosies for the knife/gar. I'm pretty sure a 10g would be fine. I would wait for someone else to come in and confirm this first though.

Bump
I did try 20 rosies, they were all eaten within 2 days.
15 within the first day.

The Bichers, and knife I know were gulping them down like macaroni & cheese.

Thanks for the reply KonvictKeeper!

I have a feeder guppy tank for my bichirs. They seem to love them.
