What king of feeder fish?

dermarko · 22-11-2010, 07:16 PM

I bought a bag of feeder fishes and I don't even know what kind of fishes they are...Silvery and longish, very much like ikan bilis. They are fast swimmers and surprisely, thriving well in my Altum comm...Can Help identify them? Thanks.

Bro dermarko, where is the feeder shop? May check it out. Are there any more other 'special' types of feeders there beside those normal platy/golffish?.Bro valcrow i saw those feeders with the whiskers also. But is not this, this one more silvery the one wif whiskers more yellowish, and that whisker feeder look like danio. I wanted to buy and comm in my tank haha.

could they be juvenile tarpons?
Here inthe philippines, we sometimes have tarpons included with feeders for sale in lfs.

To me the fish looks like milkfish..the ones they use as bait when go pond fishing.. Don't you guys think so?the ones that I saw with whiskers also quite nice to become feeder fish..hmm.can try and mix with my cardinals..

No this fishes no whiskers...Those with whiskers types I have seen them selling at ST96 before, very good jumpers but this kind, not jumpy at all..
