Bass, crappie, shiners, and other freshwater scaled fish?

What's even a bigger issue is that I REALLY need a small whole fish that can be fed live and not be a problem...I'm getting a pair of WC fish eaters that I don't think will eat anything but live wholefish and frogs/tadpoles atleast for a while. Not to mention that I'm afraid to try mice or anything apart from their natural diet as I don't know the results of anyone trying that before, they are rare, and weren't cheap either.

Kelan, welcome to the forum. You've peaked my curiosity! What are you getting? There are quite a few keepers here and someone may have had success with the species you're getting.... why re-invent the wheel, you know? And if someone here hasn't kept that particular type I really want to know what you're getting! Would love to learn more about some of the less common varieties!

Thanks for the info Charis!

It's quite amusing how they get snubbed just for that when it actually makes them easier and cheaper to cater for. My calcium and vitamin drops last me ages (about £10 every 5 months) and one pack of salmon/trout for me is <£5 ..... 100pinkies is >£18 ... If I dropped the salmon/trout I'd double my pinkie bill

I agree! Stupidity CAN be amusing. lol

Thanks! I'm getting Liophis Poecilogyrus (not sure of the common name, Ill have to make something up) which is a small south american water snake. They are black and bright yellow...I'm so exited and will try to post pictures here after they come in. I don't know anyone else who has them.

Neat little snake! Sounds like they're big amphibian eaters, too. Please do share pics when you get them
