Looking for neons for schooling type fish in the tank. I intend to
start feeding some of the hundreds of guppy fry I get......as I
usually get over run with guppy and platy fry....
I ofund they also like mysid shrimp, which reminds me I need to run
into town and pick up another chunk of frozen mysid. I buy 5# trays of
frozen mysids, and break off small ;lieces and put it in a zip lock
baggie for ease of feeding.....

My pick up a dozen or two neons tomorrow, or so.

If you are thinking of the neons for live food I wouldn't bother - my
pair of Angels live with around 20 neons and other small fish and don't
touch them - which is a good thing as I love my neons and they are
hubby's favourites - I know that this isn't always the case and that I
have been lucky to date......I know people have different attitudes
about feeding live fish to fish - personally I turn a blind eye and try
not to think about it too much when my angels and other fish eat the
livebearer fry in the main display tanks....Anyway, if you want to
provide live as well as dead food then getting some livebearers would be
better (and cheaper in the long run as you don't need to replace the
adults and they replace the fry themselves).....

Been feeding the angels krill and chopped silversides and they like it
just fine. As well as cichlid pellets. I know th ewilversides is a
salt water fish but they are high in protein and on the label has them
listed for cichlids and other meat eaters of fresh and sal****er
species.....

Mine get frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, flake and will
occassionally nibble on some veggies such as cucumber or courgette if
not beaten to it by the rabble of Clown Loaches......and of course I'm
sure that they chomp on any mollie or platy fry as I've got both in the
tank and have not seen any fry since the angels went in there....
