I would like a suitable feeder species to feed my jaguar cichlid?

i would like to feed my jaguar cichlid on something that will give it a little fight before it can eat it i would like something that will just give the jag a lil wrestle.I would like something in the crustacean family.|||These cichlids will readily accept most food substances offered. Diet should be varied however. Offer a variety of insect, including blood worm, earthworm, mysis, crickets (for larger specimens). Chopped meat can also be offered along with beef heart (offer very sparingly due to its high fat content) along with prawn and fish (live/frozen). Frozen fish is a much preferred method of feeding fish as many "feeder fish" carry the risk of the introducing disease into your aquarium, possibly harming your fish. This is the best feed for the Cichlid. The problem with feeding food that will fight back is the chance it will go after other fish in the tank.
