Flowerhorn versus Spiders

[Hookey]

I have three Flowerhorn and a few rejected pisces that are in a large custom tank in my patio. On two occasion I have seen spiders (one was a black widow) fall into the tank. Needles to say the boss hoss of the tank gobbled it up. I know in the wild, Cichlids will eat just about anything, but these FH are mutants and I dont know if they can handle it. What do you think? By the way, Howdy you all.

if the fish is still alive, you have your answer.

Most toxins need to be in contact with the blood stream in order to be harmful, being ingested I wouldn't worry for a second.

Thanks a lot. The tank is for the most part covered. But bugs can't get in anywhere.
