    I just saw that and laughed as well.

    I have to agree with you as I'd say corn or kings are probably the ideal starter. It's super rare you hear about them going off feed. I wouldn't recommend people to breed kings though, as they can and do eat the other when trying to breed. As far as just keeping though, hands down I'd say a corn or king.
