be too hard to feed dead fish you'd have to go live.

You're right there mate! I've tried feeding dead fish on allsorts but not one has ever eaten for me

Speaking of live vs dead fish etc, does anyone know of a good place to get cheap feeder fish? My keelbacks readily take dead but I'd like to give them live (you hear about thymine enzymes in frozen fish etc etc). At 50c a fish from the local shop they'd be awefully expensive to feed. There are feral Litoria fallax around the place now, might go out and catch me a bucket full The keelbacks would adore me forever!! Without having any experience with bockadams at all, my guess is that you'd easily get them to eat dead fish if you raised them from neonates. An adult keelback that has only eaten live food will be an absolute bastard to get onto dead (I've heard of many trying, but none succeeding), but if you get hatchlings it's very easy.
