[TimmyTeam]

wow lol

 

[Young Gotti]

I have 3 9.5"- 10 1/4" Caribe and 1 7" Red and I feed them twice a week.

Costs $3.50 for a package of Smelt.
Shrimp i get it for free at work.

With my old group I spent a lot on feeding:

Six 7" RBP and a 9" Oscar ate approximately 80-90 feeder fish a week (~$8.00)

Plus an occasional mouse (~$2.00 ea)

 

[Outie]

I have 17 pirahna's total. 8 small guys and 9 adults. I spend about 10 bucks a week on them. Usually get ocean pearch or catfish fillets for around 2-4 dollars a package. Feeders tend to get a little pricey usually pay about 12 bucks for 100 feeders. (that isn't to often i do that)

 

[FeederFish33]

I had 5 reds at 5 inches. I spent about 2 bucks on raw unpeeled shrimp, 3 bucks for krill, 3 bucks for the pellets/flakes, and 1 buck on feeders totaling to a whopping 9 dollars. This lasts me at least a month.

 

[o snap its eric]

-4 caribe and 4 red = 1lb of food for every 2 feedings. i feed every other day.

lb of bh = 2 bucks
lb of smelt = 1 buck
lb of shrimp = i dont know i jack it from my mom
mis food ( mouse, feeders) = 5 bucks

-Rhom that i have i feed everyday twice a day.

it takes him maybe 1-2 weeks to eat a whole shrimp.
1-2 weeks for a smelt

-Red devil

10 dollar bag of hikari gold lasts about a month

Pygos = expensive
serrasalmus = cheap
cichlids = moderatly cheap

 

[thomisdead]

Beefheart is damn cheap. I got .69 lbs. at my LBS(local butcher shop) the other day for $.89. That should last about 2 months for my single RBP.

compare that to the 1/2 lb of hamburg I got to make burgers that night. It cost $1.52.

 

[TimmyTeam]

thanks for all the imputs i wanna get 3-4 reds i thought they would be expensive to feed but it doesnt look that bad....i dont no where to get the smelt shrimp....etc

 

[Judazzz]

6 reds: per week, 2 bucks at most for shrimps (add a few bucks if I treat them some feeders)

 

[Hagen]

i usualy feed beefhart, costs like $4 for half a heart, lasts me around 2 weeks.

 

[TimmyTeam]

what kinda shrimp u guys use just that stuff u buy at a grocery store ?

 

[Hagen]

you can usualy buy it by the pound. or buy the shrimp "RING"

 

[Judazzz]

I get ordinary salad shrimp from any super market... My reds love it

 

[Hagen]

trout fillet is also good too. but expensive

 

[TimmyTeam]
