    5 Jawfish!!!

    Use Prime by Seachem or Ammo Lock by Aquarium Pharmasuticals to take care of the ammonia spike. Maybe you can trade or sell the extra jawfish to your LFS. Good Luck.

    Sponges

    you could do it the way you say, but they are filter feeders so they catch what they can from the surrounding water. I feed my tank DT's and the sponges are doing great.
