Can water dragons eat feeder fish? Is it good for them?

According to the diet section of the care sheet feeder fish are ok. Chinese Water Dragon Caresheet - Part 5 - Reptile Information - Caresheets Database

I would not use feeder fish as a staple. They are as a whole not very nutritious.

I'm against them just because so many stores that keep feeder fish, don't really care for them at all, and they are usually diseased and sickly.

Fish (whole) may be fed to a dragon as an occasionally food - not as a staple food however.

Fish actually are nutritious; as they have bones, they are a good source of calcium.
Though I agree that they should not be used as a staple food.

Yes, this is true.

It is important to only feed your dragon(s) fish that have been kept in clean, uncrowded conditions. Fish that have kept in crowded conditions are more likely to be carrying parasites.

Feeder fish as a treat are okay, and although they are a good source of calcium and protein, they do lack certain vitamins that can lead to health problems if they are the only food source. If you are going to buy "feeder" fish let your nose tell you what the condition of the tank is. If you can smell the water go somewhere else.

I tried it and it kinda worked..... Hal saw the fish moving so he grabbed it and started chewing it, but the fish ended up falling out his mouth and so he left it since it wasn't moving... He's a messy eater and only eats things that move, unless it's blueberries lol...

I have a "pond" set up in my tank... and when I buy feeder fish, i put them in there... let the fish swim around and most of the time my 2 Wd's go right after them, even though Izzy goes for anything that moves in his pond. But like someone else said, i only buy them like once a month, Nothing too big, and I only buy like 6 or 7. Just to make their variety of food Big.
