I use marbled crays. They breed prolifically and grow pretty quickly. And the fish love them. I would be leary of buying feeders due to the poor conditions they are often raised in.

How fast would say the small crays will begin reproducing? Also, what do you feed yours?

I have some crays, and I just put anachris in there and if a fish dies, that too. They love the anachris though. It will feed them and also buffer the water
