Does anyone keep live bearing fish in a community tank solely for the purpose of providing a live food source (the fry) for the other fish in the tank? I've been considering adding some Guppies to my tank which I know are live bearing fish. The fish would in the tank would probably enjoy a live food source. Am I wrong in this?
Along the same line, what about keeping snails for this same purpose. Either adding baby snails to a tank which I know my YoYo Loaches would LOVE. If I were to keep snails in a 10 gallon as kind of a 'breeding tank' I'm sure I would get tons of babies that I could add to the 75 gallon. Would the fish also eat the snail eggs if I scraped them off of the glass and dumped them in the tank?
