    This may seem like a stupid question but I'm getting very mixed results in my web searches.
    Would I be able to feed my self-bred guppies and convict fry (New world FW Cichlid) to marine predators?

    Good points. Yes you can use FW fish to feed SW fish. I see my LFS do it all the time, but only to the predator species. Like Lion fish, Puffers, Ells, Octopus's, Snappers and the like.
