im looking to make a feeder tank at home i have a 5.5 and a 10 gallon tank i can use and a small hob filter, should i just go get some feeders and ghost shrimp and put them in there and keep restocking as needed how would i breed them any advice would be a big help

What you have got to remember when breeding feeder fish is you really want fish that are prolific breeders, Severums, convicts are good examples of this. They lay a lots of eggs on a regular basis and can produce many young. Guppies are all so fish that breed a lot, however, there is not much of a meal in a guppy. Also, remember that fry take a while before they are big enough to make a worthwhile meal so unless you've got several sets of parents breeding at different intervals, you are not going to have a steady supply of feeders. And finally, your tank isn't big enough for these type of fish anyway.

Your best bet would be to buy them and put them in quarantine for a week or two, this way you would at least have a steady supply of fish.

i was going to try this but at the end of the day it worked out to cost to much money to get the correct setup and just in my opinion didnt seem worth while when you can get live foods for oscar in your garden and local fish shops:)

thats wat it sounding like is to much work, il stick to the fish store and the garden

personally, I think that breeding your own feeders is more trouble than it's worth. There are loads of other foods that are much better for Oscars anyway, and these are normally readily available at the fish store, or pet shop. in many cases, you would have to have a tank for the breeding parents, then another tank for all the fry and you would also have to think about breeding live food for the fry, such as brine shrimp. I don't believe anyone who says it's easy, you got your work cut out a lot more than just popping down to the shop to get some food.

If you want a easy life for feededs go with guppies. my mate has guppies in his community tank and they breed no matter what. but i wouldnt really bother myself its to much trouble as OFL said. there are just so much other things the oscar will eat and i feel guilty sellecting one to throw to the oscars.)
