Well here is a good question maybe..

I think i want a fish i can feed feeder fish 2.. and i was wondering if i could add it to a tank with lets say some mollys and a pleco... im thinking about setting up a 20 with the platy otto and tetras... now eating something thats alive is what im looking for.. i know thats weird but i just want to watch it chase around baby feeder gupys or sumtin... any fish that would suit my needs? or would i need to move the mollys 2?

From what i've heard Angels might do a fare job of eating fry (only what ive read and researched, not experience).

Hmmm....mollys, otos, and tetras are feeders to the fish I'm thinking about...

Central American cichlids? Great fish, but need big tanks. If you're thinking about Angels and Discus, don't get your hopes up.

If you're just looking for a fish to keep the fry population down, try zebra danios most fish who are the type that we'd say we 'feed feeder fish' to are going to eat fish the size of your mollies and need a very large tank.

You can have one African ctenopoma. Mine is about 3 inches. He lived with zebra danios for months until he discovered that they are what he is actually living for. He swallowed couple of those whole, the sight was amazing: speed, dexterity and huge mouth opening.
Drawbacks:
- zebras are expensive to serve as feeders
- I pittied remaining little zebras and moved them promptly into another tank
- once one zebra is captured it releases substances of fear into the water and all remaining fish become hysterical for hours - not a pretty sight

a cool fish to feed feeder guppies to (but you will need a MUCH bigger tank) are vampire tetras. might want to poke around the aquatic predators forum (www.aquaticpredators.com). if you're serious about keeping predators, save up for a 55G tank instead of the 20G.
