Smelt & silversides

[kimbosaur]

I'm pretty sure I've used those fish you are referring to! They are babies which would explain the white color and their weird black eyes. They are very long and skinny too! I always have to cut them in half. I've used them on occasion with no problems... They don't resemble their adult counterparts in any way though, but that is because they are fry.

Actually they do look like fry! Big eyes with white bodies exactly like you described. I've been using them relatively frequently, like every third feeding, so I wanted to make sure.

Sally's brand silversides are safe, Kim. That's all I know

I can't find Sally's here...Only Omega One. Found a pic - you can kind of see how they look.

Those looks weird.. i don't know..

Only place I know where to get them is Pet stores, which is why I'm never buying them. Too much $$... but it lasts a long time with a few babies.

Yep! That's them! Mine aren't the same brand but those are the fish. My mom calls them gross spaghetti fish. LOL

Those are "baby" silversides Jesse. I've never seen them sold like that. I've always used silversides that were 3-6 inches long and look like this:

The fry are great for baby snakes and I take adults and chop them in half for the big snakes!
