So i've been wondering, is there any sort of 'live food' that would be able to live and breed happily in the aquarium with fish?
I'm quite the big softie and know if I were to raise some live foods I wouldnt have the heart to chuck them in for feeding without them standing a chance. I've looked into a few live foods to find that a lot die off not too long after they're in the tank. Ideally I would like to keep the whole ecosystem going in my planted tank, I've looked into daphnia though seems food for them might be an issue, or with enough plants do you think this would provide microscopic food for them? Has anyone given live food to find its survived longer than expected in the tank?
 
What about cherry shrimp??
They mate like crazy and the fish will feed on the young.
The shrimp will only require algae and plants
