How Do You Keep Live Food?

[Tropical Tetra]

When you feed your fish live food, how often do you feed them live foods and how do you store the live food? keep them in seperate tank or do you go to the lfs every week to buy some or what?

I only feed live food as a real treat, once every month or so. I normally keep it in the fridge but try to feed it ASAP before it starts to turn.

i feed as a treat but more than monthly. i feed twice a week with live food. mainly because i breed and have bumble bee gobies that need the live food. i hatch my own brine shrimp at work so i have them on close when i need them

EDIT> i just realised it looks like ive said i breed BBG's lol of course i dont its convicts, BN's, kribs and peacocks i breed

I keep a culture of grindal worms in an old margarine tub with compost and feed them on porridge oats. They are easy to keep and reproduce at a good rate.

I used to keep a colony of daphnia in a jug of water and feed them liquifry- might get some more and start again. Again easy to keep and will reproduce.

I feed different fish differently. The ticos and heterandria elegans get grindal worms several times a week, the young guppies and heterandria formosa maybe twice a week, the other fish from time to time. And I feed TetraDelica jellied foods a couple of times a week to my tanks.
