 LIVE FOOD
The advantages of live foods over frozen and prepared foods are: - the uneaten food will not immediately decay and load up the filtration system,
- foods can be raised in controlled conditions and be free of pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria
- by using inexpensive media and techniques, costs are minimized, and
- most importantly, fish love grabbing things that try to run away (plus, fish owners love watching their fish chase live food).
Here are some live foods the aquarist can easily culture at home, to the extent that some people on the NET have had experience with them.
