I never thought deeply about the word "feeder" until now.
They actually feed these fish TO something?

Besides the large fish that others have mentioned, feeder goldfish are
also fed to aquatic turtles - although that is not the best option for
them - and snakes such as Garter Snakes or Water Snakes which require
a diet of fish, frogs and the like.

Yea, For some reason I always have to check the feeder tanks while I am
at any fish store even though the conditons they are kept in make me
sick. Such beautiful fish with a great amount of personality to be
treated the way they are just sickens me. Anyway, I have never seen
any fancy goldfish in a feeder tank ever....it has to have been a
mistake.
