I fed my ACF "Rosey Reds" which are basically a pink tinted minnow, until i found out that i should ONLY feed my ACF feeder guppies, because the rosey reds, or minnows or any type of goldfish would block my ACF's ability to absorb vitamin B. I have netted the guppies and pushed them into my ACF's face so that he can grab one quick, but this is very time consuming, and they are rather hard to catch...is there any other type of live food i can throw into the tank that would be easier for my ACF to catch and eat?? It took me forever to find feeder guppies ANYWHERE. i went to six places before i found a store that carried them...and i've spent three dollars on them, needless to say, i've just turned out dissapointed. what would you suggest?

Also, I read somewhere that you could feed an ACF canned dogfood or hamburger beef, is this true?
