Hi All-I know typical feeder fish aren't safe to feed my reptiles. Is there a way to make them safe, like a quarintine tank for a certain legnth of time.
What is a safe alternative to pet shop feeder fish?

Thanks

One alternative to thiaminease containing goldfish and minnow species, that is typically mentioned, are guppies.

Guppies are fairly simple to breed at home (and are one of the starter species for fish hobbyists). In our youth, my siblings had fish tanks where they bred, and raised, guppies for showing at fish shows.
