Any sort of feeder fish from the pet shop are fine
i have a pair of mertens i don't feed them feeder fish but i have had friends that do. the only feeder thing i have fed them is shrimp. monitors have iron stomachs so most the time they can handle a lot of things. good pet shops know not to use any thing but water neutraliser in there feeder tanks so just question them. but honestly you don't need to feed them feeder fish chopped up chicken feet from day old chics chopped up adult mice( chop it up into little pieces while its frozen) or if its big enough just hole prey items if its basking surface temp is 45 50 degree feed them all those things. also if its small crickets dusted etc is good but they do need there whole prey items so chopping up the adult prey items is good. just feed it every 3 days so you get a good feeding response put the food on a plate put it in the enclosure and walk away

Nooooooope! There are vitamin issues (i think B) with goldfish and other carp breeds.
You're right - there's an enzyme found in many freshwater fish (not just the carp and minnow family) called thiaminase which breaks down vitamin B.
problem solved just feed them chicks and mice
