Is there something similar to a guppy (reproductively) I could put in a refugium and culture as live food?, besides 'pods.

thanks
 
Not really. What are you wanting to feed live foods?

If you lived on a coast, there are tons of small, bait fish that can be collected for foods, in addition to a wide variety of shrimps and crabs. Otherwise, live food fish are not realistic.
 
I'm not quite sure yet. The largest fish I would get is a yellow tang and I'm not certain it prefers live foods.

I live about 6 1/2 hours from the Gulf of Mexico and only go there on vacation and fishing trips, so I couldn't use that as a primary source.

Just a thought. I like to watch "the hunt" when you feed predators.
 
If you are adding a good bit of phytoplankton, you might try growing mysis shrimp. You can get them from Inland Aquatics, among other places.

The tang will probably ignore them, but smaller fish and inverts will enjoy them.
