I used to feed a pike on minnows, but it was forever catching white spot from them. I got it onto whitebait instead.

 

That's cool, shame you can't get a big bag of neons, I think it's illegal to use live feed is it not ? one of my mates got banned from a pet shop after they twigged all the goldfish he was buying were for his jaguar cichlid.

It's not expressly illegal, it would be up to a court to decide whether it amounted to a breach of the law. See;

protozin's really good for it. turns the water a nice blue tint too

Ive got a tropical tank and the mollies keep giving birth and as not many people want them i just bang them in with the chub and ten spine sticklebacks to feast on
