Cherry barbs as feeders?

I just brought a lushly planted 20 gallon for a cory tank and surpise, there are cherry barbs (fry and little older) in it....

I am not sure I am into the whole feeding live fish (and it would be a treat not a daily thing of course---I firgure they can have them the day before a water change/gravel cleaning)....

....But if the cherrys decide to breed and overstock the tank is they any reason my predator tank cannot have some? Do they have sharp bones?

I have another community tank with danios, neons and corys, should I move the cherrys out and the danios in (are they better feeders) if I decide to breed some feeders?

On that note what is healthest feeder?? And the bad ones?

well feeders taht your raised are proubably the best or ones that didnt grow up in a tank with 500 others . most feeder goldfish arent the way to go either.. as far as i know the oscar should be able to digest them if thatsw what you want to do. will the oscar be able to eat the fish? but they should be able to eat them. i would say that out of the feeders you may find at the stores are feeder guppies which are normaly the guppies that didnt color up or barley did. pretty mucht the duds and pretty much are just the females.
