we usually talk feeders or guppies but we never put pictures in here.
so in order for us to see what kinds of feeders each of us have, i will
post pictures of the feeders my wife had just bought for her arowana.

these small fishes are called guppies (locally known as kataba or papaitan)




do we have same species? they are very common along our swamps and lakes

Guppies are very common over here in the UK in most aquatic stores. I will tell you what your arrow would really love, a nice big fat juicy cricket. This is a very common source of food for them in the wild. If you look at an arrowana you can see that they're actually designed to take food from the surface. So any food that floats is absolutely perfect.

Guppys breed quickly! Convicts are quick also!
It's NOT smart to piss off the girl with the BAN button!

Guppies breed fast, a lot of younglings but grow slow.
I posted about Panchax-killi fish once, and they grow fast and become real fat.
But they behave like lil' pikes so I couldn't get it over my heart to breed them as food.
They got too much personality.
Mollys and swordtails are a good option.
Stupid thing with most of the live feeders is that they scare whitless and hide from the moment I put them in the big tank.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!
