Can I get feeder fish for my ducks?

I want to get Minos but can't at the moment. Are feeder fish ok to use? I've heard it can be a bad idea since they are medicated sometimes .

medicated, really??
I dont know much on this subject, I choose not to use live feeder fish because I'd feel mean I stick to bugs
But they're supposed to be super good and full of calcium. Any way you could check with the seller of the fish whether or not they're medicated?

We used to feed feeder fish to the chickens on occasion. The fish had their own little tank and we made sure they were healthy before feeding them (we had two turtles at the time that also ate the fish). Didn't have ducks then but I'm sure they would have enjoyed them as well.

You do not need to worry about medications or diseases. It's entertaining to watch, but ducks can eat a hundred small fish in about a minute. They seem cheap in the store until you figure the price per pound for feeder fish.
