I recently got a bunch of feeder fish at nightmarket, I was playing a fishing game and managed to catch 13 feeder fish!!!

now I'm kinda clueless as to how to take care of them, how big of a tank would I need? right now they are in a tupperware container on my desk, 14"x10"x5 thats how big it is.

Just tell me simple things please I'm not rich enough to afford filters and lights and different types of equipment for these fish.

  1. it doesn't matter just get water conditioner and gravel with some decor ornament  and they die in a few weeks they don't live long


  2. So if they aren't guppies, are they minnows or goldfish? You can get a 10 gallon tank ($10) at Walmart and keep them in there. Change 1/4 of the water every week and 1/2 of it every month. Feed them fish flakes and fresh fruit or veggies (tiny pieces). That would be quite crowded for 13 though, so you could take 2 out and keep them in a goldfish bowl or a large vase or bowl. That would require weekly whole water changes. Air pumps are not that expensive, and if you do buy a tank, it would be a great way to keep the water aerated. There are $10 betta fish starter aquariums that come with a triangular 1 gallon tank (you could keep 2 fish in this), a lid with a built in light, and an air pump. You could use the air pump for the 10 gallon tank as the 1 gallon tank doesn't really need it as long as you change the water every 5-7 days.

  3. What kind of feeder fish are they? Guppies, minnows, goldfish?

    The type determines how big of a tank to get and that sort of stuff.

    Goldfish and minnows would need as big of a tank as you would be willing to purchase, but guppies wouldn't need as big of one.

    Goldfish would honestly benefit from a filter, but if not, just change the water very frequently. (not all of it, just a smallish portion every once in a while)

  4. just release them somewhere.

    you'll most likely need some conditioner to clean the water from chlorine and other stuff if you're using water from the tap.

    other than that, you actually put them all into a small container if u have an air pump which i know you are not rich enough to afford.

    and to that guy above me, he is definitely wrong.

    i once had a feeder fish and it lived for 7 years before i released it in stow lake inside of golden gate park.

    that feeder fish grew to about 7inches long (that's actualy very big considering how most of them are used for inhumane purposes)
