can axis have feeder fish?
what is feeder fish?

A feeder fish is just a fish used for live food. Feeder fish are known to contain parasites and disease, so aren't good to feed. You would be a lot better of with earthworms, or pellets of you can't get worms. :happy:

Fish suitable for feeders are guppies, endlers and white cloud minnows. You need to quarantine any live fish for 30 days before feeding them to axies, or stary a breeding colony of your own. TBH they are not worth the effort.
