Personally I wouldnt use feeder fish. Mainly because there is no need to, but also feeder fish unless well fed themselves provide little or no nutritional value, feeder fish that are stressed (ie placed in a 3 ltr vase) can also cause ich on the fish you are feeding them to

If you go by the 1 inch of fish per gallon rule of thumb, then none. But since it's unfiltered and unheated I'm not sure if you even want them to live, which if that's the case you could fit at least a couple hundred in there. I don't know why anyone would want to buy fish just to kill them though. All fish need a filter and all tropicals need a heater unless your house is always at the temp they need.
Do you guys have any idea how small 3 liters is? It's not even 1 gallon and you would squeeze that many fish in there?

Vases are not suitable for keeping fish, full stop.
Guppies would definitely not survive very long in an unheated aquarium, let alone a 3 litre vase. Forget it.

Feeder guppies are often extremely small so 8 for a three inch oscar isn't too many. yet.... you ought to rather evaluate switching him over to pellets. there is extremely little nutritional fee in feeder fish and you often run the possibility of introducing a ailment once you throw the feeders into his tank. Feeder fish are raised exterior in ponds and something can get in there with them. Then they arrive on your place. Oscars get extremely large (as much as fourteen" and larger) and could require further and extra food if he lives in the process the feeder fish. I even have raised oscars and had 5 that have been interior the style of 10-14 inches. I fed them goldfish till I found out with regard to the parasites and illnesses that contain stay feeders after which switched them to dry canines food pellets. merely make optimistic it quite is a stable grade of canines food with around 40-50% protein. They do large with it. or you are able to shell out the greenbacks on the LFS and feed him arranged oscar pellets. they're very stable, yet expensive. Oscars are carnivorous interior the wild and choose stable protein of their food. Feeding stay feeders is merely enjoying Russian Roulette inclusive of your fish's lifestyles.

None. A vase is not a suitable habitat for Guppies. Hell, three liters isn't even big enough for a betta.
The only thing you should keep in a container that size is some nice cut flowers.

I got a 3 litre Capri, and all my guppies died very quickly when placed inside it.

3-4 Because they need a lot of room or they will fight or eventually die after a few hours.

i wouldn't put more than a dozen to give them room to grow and make sure they have lots of grass for aeration.
