Marblemelons are better than Lantern Fruit, but if you're ruthless and efficient, fish are better - Reginalds are twice as efficient as Melons (but take way longer to grow). Rabbit Rays are nearly three times as efficient as melons, but you gotta get their eggs, breed them, and then deal with your wife/daughter calling you names for stuffing them in the Bioreactor.
I usually just put a pair of planters next to it (the small round ones) and plant one Lantern Tree, and four Marblemelons. The reactor is on the floor below the two story Alien Containment, so I can easily climb down the ladder one floor to recycle any excess/undesirable creatures/plants into the reactor. As long as the fish take up 1x1 spot in the inventory, they are always more efficient than plants.
(Edited to clarify my meaning on the way I stack the floors.)
@scubamatt thanks, bippity said you could put reefbacks in there, kinda sad actually.
Never even found a reefback egg! Can't fathom putting a baby reefback in the bioreactor.
Doubt they've even fully implemented them. I've never seen a reefback, shuttlebug or mesmer egg without spawning them in. Come to think of it, there's been a shortage of crabsnake eggs in the jelly shroom caves as of lately.

Your description of the bioreactor below the alien containment sounds as if it auto feeds into the reactor. I read the wiki on both and see nothing about that. Maybe I just misunderstood your description.

No, it's just on the floor above the Reactor room, so it's just a quick trip down the ladder to put anything into the reactor that I don't want/need, like predators that hatched from eggs. I'll edit my description to be more clear, thanks.
reginalds are the best fuel lol. You really don't have to worry about production as a single large aquarium more than enough to keep a bioreactor stocked forever without any worries of running out of "fuel".
My vote is to breed bone sharks expressly for the purpose of feeding to the blender.
Will predators reproduce in tanks like edible fish do?
Yes. Even recently I left the aquarium with two stalker eggs because my nearby Kelp Forest had lost the creatures and I thought two or so would cheer up the environment. I forgot about the reproduction thing and prioritized other activities for a while only to come back to eight stalkers + egg. My Kelp Forest is looking lively again, but that was one dangerous "return them home" project.
I exclusively use Rabbit Rays, because out of some glitch, they don't get ground up, and so work infinitely for some reason. Also I literally have a tank so full of them that I think there are move rays there than water.
Multiple this with the values in the list, and voila.
Reefback babies are great for bioreactor fuel, but I prefer something that can mass produce fast.
Like, yanno, Rabbit Rays?
And also, Sea Treader Manure's way better than those fruits.
Why put a value for biters?! You can't put them in the reactor! Speaking of which, we should have biter eggs! I would love to have them in a fish tank and feed the little buggers to my Bioreactor! 250 ain't bad!

(cough) well, that's what I heard anyway.

It's supposed to be 12:37 but the 10 parts don't work.
