As long as you feed a varied diet and feed the baby fish once or twice a week at most, you should be fine. Anymore than that isn't healthy.

You NEVER want to feed freshwater fish to a saltwater fish. It can cause fatty liver disease.

i would actually get a pair of mollies and breed them for food instead. molly's are ok for saltwater.

yep. fatty liver disease among other things. i've seen agressive sw fish that have been fed feeders. clowdy eyes, bad color, strange behavior, etc.

I agree 100% with this statement. Any type of freshwater fish is a bad idea because it is very unhealthy for the fish you are feeding.
