sup all, my sis and i were out today, and i got some more wardly sticks, and 12 more rosies...i stuck the rosies in there, and within 2 minutes, i saw 1 go down tode, and 3 down bobby, and they're after them again...so far, i've had 2 in there for....bout 2 months now, so i hope some of them will stay this time, they're pretty neat!

lol. Don't count on them lasting much longer. When I first started feeding them to my girls, they used to eat some then leave the rest alone...now they're dead meat after 20min.

Mine were just the opposite. They used to gobble them down, now they take forever. I still have one in the tank from July when I got them last. What a pain it is catching that little bugger in a 75 gallon tank at cleaning time.

You can buy feeder guppies, they are the same cost usually as rosies.

have you tried smaller fish stores? I've never seen any feeder fish other than goldfish and rosies in the big chain stores.

I found my feeder guppies at a smaller pet store pets mart doesn't care them. My turtle doesn't eat them in fact they are multiplying in the tank he plays with them. I also have 3 rosies in there and a snail. He plays with them but thats all.
Our Pet store called pet food supermarket carries them.
